I picked up some chemiPure and was able to cram it in my phosban reactor. Thanks Anthony

Chin I was thinking about a UV but I believe Zeovit and UV don't work together as the UV will kill the good bacteria.
I hadn't added a fish in over 6 months and I'm still loosing fish.
I still can't get over your losses Chin, I just hope both our fortunes will change now.

I lost about 7 fish in one night about a year or so ago. All the fish were healthy and eating before it happened. Ín my case it was poor water quality a oil slick from feeding frozen and my pump on my skimmer shut off. Needless to say a O2 problem. Hope you solve your problem soon and good luck. Also sorry to hear about your fish problem too Chin.

Have you done anything different to your fish room in the last 2 weeks ? Do you close doors or windows to it at night? If you have a large exhaust fan you need to have sufficient make up air. Is the co2 ok? I had some bad phosphate remover one time. Just some thoughts.

40 gal water change in your tank's not very much. I think you should shoot for more like 50%. Sure sounds like chemical contamination of some kind. Did it start before or after you rock slide?

Chin, look into fresh water dips more before you try it. It won't do anything for Cryptocaryon. I'll never fresh water dip again after I lost my Achilles doing it

Hey Rob, I'll do another 40G tomorrow but I just don't have the ability to do a 200G water change.

It was occuring during the rock slide. But i to am thinking it could have contributed to it

I had a mystery disease a few years ago that wiped out 6 large fish in a couple days.Everybody said copper/marycin 1 and 2.My gut feeling was moroxy.It was moroxy that cured them.There was no visable signs of that disease
