i have put so many BRAND new ph in my tanks, adn none ever caused any problem. Not to mention, they are made with lubricants that are not harmful if with any lubes other than water at all. Rethink your answer.

sounds like you shocked your system shutting down filt .
prob should of slowly removed media and flos .but if you dont have a
sump id still recomend a canister filt for running carbon ,phosphate remover
and general polishing .even most people with sumps have canisters.

and today:
hippo tang dead this morning, mandarin just died 10 minutes ago, clownfish, dead this morning, angel is breathing heavily. all inverts seem ok, except for my coco worm, seems to be not as opened, and my one feather duster is hiding, and the other has this white stuff on its crown.
two days ago i got rid of my canister filter, which was just giving me problems, i removed it (it only put out like 250 gph), so i replaced it with a powerhead which put out 850 gph, and ever since i added that the fish have been hiding and dying, none of my shrimp, hermits, snails, or my lobster have died yet. and the water seems a bit clouded, but earlier today i did a 15 gallon water change, and yet the mandarin still died, anybody have any clue whats happened, why are all these fish dying, yet the inverts are fine
You didn't use a product by Kent Marine called Osmo Prep Marine did yor? I swear I think I got a contaminated batch as I only used it twice 6 weeks apart and had fish die twice. Lesley
