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

Tank MAY not be accurate to test as dead animals pollute a tank fast.

Check temperature, aeration and salinity.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I would also change some water if you have it ready, if not get it ready asap. Check flow it sounds like low o2 levels

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.
