    Amonia?

    It could be the dead fish, or maybe it's detritus or excess food that is collecting somewhere maybe? Do you have a cleanup crew that will take care...

    microbubbles?

    Filteration On A Fish Only Tank

    It's more fish than I would put in a 55 but it's not unheard of, you might be OK. I wouldn't put a tang in though, personally. I think 75g is the...

    Dosing questions
