Thanks guys..

At least we can now dismiss this as a Moorish Idol thing - Apu, my Pakistani butterfly died today. I can't find anything wrong with my tests except low alk about 2. I had just started new salt, the new Kent, but I got it from J&L and thought the problems were over with that. I will test the new mix tonite.

Holy Cow Deb - I'm really sorry this is happening to you. Is there any chance of lack of oxygen? I am quite sure that both of those fish are somewhat sensitive to low oxygen and IIRC you recently bought a new skimmer so just wondering if there is any chance it is not putting enough oxygen into the water. I know shot in the dark but ..................

Thanks Ruth, but no, we haven't received the new skimmer yet and the Euro is still on there working fine. I have to rule out coral starvation as well, as it wouldn't happen that fast, both fish were healthy a few days ago.

[EmilyB]

The Kent salt tested out fine.

That's very sad to hear Deb, and at the same time frustrating not knowing what the cause is. Can you explained in details the changes that your tank has gone through so perhaps the many minds on here can poke at some ideas. I hope we can find the cause before another bites the dust.

OMG thats awful!!

Are you running carbon? Do you think it could be residual from removing the sandbed? The fish looked so good after all that messing around we did a couple of weeks ago.
