Hasn't been off the sand for a while now. Another partial WC just in case. Everyone else is doing great now... but not the Bicolor Angel...

Will be sad to see him go...

Very sorry to hear your losing your fish, bicolor's are beautiful fish. Tank is sumpless, but do you have a hang on protein skimmer running, if not you may want to try adding an airstone, especially if your tank make up water isn't at least 24 hours aerated.

I agree on the beautiful part indeed.

I have been running an airstone as well for the last 2 hours or so. No change unfortunately...

The frustrating part is i can't find anything wrong other than the stray voltage that was there earlier from that powerhead.

No Nitrite, Nitrate is 5 ppm and no ammonia.

Everyone else in the tank is happy other than a more docile than normal peppermint shrimp.

Thats it. Did everything i could think of for the little guy. Absolutely gorgeous scales and coloring. Hilarious to see how much algae he slurped.

Not sure what to think. I guess everyone loses fish but it still sucks every time. I have a lot of freshwater and haven't had a loss there for a long time but this is my only marine tank right now so it sucks all the more to lose a fish from it.

Not the best way to end a week and it's my birthday in 2 days. Lol. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Sorry, It really sucks to lose a fish. It does sound like you did all you could do for your tank. Pat yourself on the back though for what you did do, could have been a much bigger loss, sounds like you reacted quickly and saved the rest. Not that you feel like celebrating at all, but happy early birthday wishes.

Stray voltage can effect the fish by playing havic with the lateral line , thats how fish pick up danger,
old equipment has a history of voltage leaching, that why i always run a grounding plug that takes care of any stary voltage, can be found at any reef shop,
cheers
