Finding dead fish

[MarkoD]

i only added 2 new fish to the tank. they were perfectly fine for over 2 weeks with all the perameters in check.

there is no way the fish got stressed because of the water quality. i have been obsessing since day one to make sure i did everything correctly so it wouldnt come back and bite me. i just cant figure out what triggered it.

This is not a freshwater system like you are accustomed to. Different rules apply here.

Common error in reef keeping.

As for the clown. Who cares. Leave the body, the CUC will take care of it. Test your parameters and do a water change.


Patience is a virtue, and if you follow that as the only rule, your tank will flourish. If you by-pass patience...
