![]() What happened? Did anything precipitate this, or are you without a clue? What are your tank parameters? Pics?
People are going to need more information if they're going to help you out!! |

![]() How are your corals? What kinds of behavior are your fish exhibiting to make you think they're dying?

![]() well one died. and they were trying to jump out of the tank. they are doing better in the bucket now. there gills were pushed out before they have relaxed now and are swimming not convulsing, but i cant leave them in the bucket. my corals are not so good i have a frog spawn that is just pulled in really far and my leather is leaning and my kenya is to. also my shrimp are alive and look fine(kinda wierd), and i haev feather duusters which dropped their plumes a few days ago, but now the worms are crawling out but when i touch them they go back in. and i found many dead bristle worms in my tank.

![]() That's tough. What water are you using? My immediate thought was that you were doing lots of water changes, and THEN things started to die.
If it were me, I'd do some large water changes (with RO/DI water) and run some carbon in the canister filter or something. Take any foam pads or filters out and just run carbon. How's the temperature? Don't know what else to say, man. I'm certainly not an expert...maybe someone else can chime in here. |
