    Thanks Kacy.

    Thanks.

    Yeah mesh lids are an absolute must! It was just bad timing, but it really blows.

    Thanks Logan. It has been a crappy couple of weeks. The reef gods need to let up or they are gonna lose my money pit. LOL

    I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I have went from 6 fish to 2 fish in the matter of a week. I did sell one tonight, so he didn't die on me, but I'm still upset about the losses of course.

    That's a bummer. I haven't caught up on your thread, why are you removing fish?

    I sold my Yellow Tail Damsel tonight because he is a little rough on new fish I introduce. The others died on me when I move my scape around last weekend. I don't know why, but I did have a small ammonia spike and Mr. Bill thinks that this huge aptasia I have in the tank might have stung the fish causing them to die on me. This is the thread for that one though http://www.3reef.com/forums/asap/fish-dropping-sand-thank-you-mr-bill-132766.html

    Now I can't find my scootor blenny. I really don't know what happened to him.

    Oh bummer man! Sorry for you losses! That looks ammonia/trite related to me. If you had ammonia, it certainly moved onto nitrites and even low numbers can cause brown blood poisoning, and rapid breathing like that angel produced. Even if the export is extremely fast, blood poisoning is almost instant, and can take as little as 30 minutes to destroy an already stressed/sensitive fish IME.

    My diamond goby hopped out of my tank, thought he got eaten or died in the rocks somewhere... found him dried up under the tank when i moved my sump during breakdown. Don't they know water=good, floor=bad?


    Sorry for your loss :(
