I've had my aquarium setup for a little less than 8 months (a 55g)
since then I have had 5 ocellaris die.
I was dumb and my nitrates were way too high initially and the initial pair died.
Then I purchased two more. The one night I took the filter apart and cleaned it and didn't cover the hole the larger of the 2 went adventuring (outside the aquarium).
My question though is in the past 3 months both of my other oc have died. The last two have been looking great and the next thing I know is they died.
My last one was even hosting my bta, and it had been eating fine.
Nitrates are about 20 at the highest, usually at 10
I've been putting iodine, calcium and zoomax for the coral
Also periodically I put in Marine Snow for the scallops and anemones
What am I doing wrong?
