Default Help-!! Fish Dying!!
Went to bed last last and everything was fine. This morning I awoke to see a dead yellow tang, dead blue tang and a dead cleaner. MY two clowns are still alive along with a dasmel, a bangai and a fire shrimp along with numerous snails..Any input would be welcomed

Symptoms? Remaining fish ok? Marks on any of the dead ones? spots, flakes, powdery appearance? Anything leak into the tank overnight? Pumps and powerheads all intact?

Was there a power failure last night? Did anything turn off? My guess is low O2 since corals seem fine.

Immediately put an air bubbler in the tank and place the powerhead near the surface of the water.

What is the size of your tank?
How many months has the tank been running?
What is the ammonia level?
Did you place your hands in the tank to do anything or did you add anything?
