that could be your problem right there......if you started your tank with 90% dead rock and 10% live then you probably shouldnt have had more than 8 fish in the tank.....dead rock is DEAD rock and can not be counted as filtration........it may take 2 monthes, it may take a year for that dead rock to become "live"..we are seeing more and more people having problems, the more popular dead rock gets......if you for instance have 90lbs of dead and 10lbs of live then you need to stock the tank asd though you hav 10lbs of rock, not 100lbs.....I wish more LFSs would explain this to people....I know I make sure to tell folks this when they are buying dead rock...... again sorry for your losses
