It is still possible, but if it were fish killing each other you would see damage on the dead fish, and probably the surviving onces, any marks, torn fins, etc?

My condolences man that really sucks. What are you feeding them? anything that might not be so fresh anymore? Do Foxfaces exude poison into the water as a self defence measure? possibly a power failure in the night that you didn't know about?

strange disease
Hey,
May or may not be a fish disease, could be water or air contaminants that somehow entered the tank. I would do a series of water changes over a few days and clean / inspect all filters, pumps, and sumps. I would also run extra carbon and ozone if you have it. If you have UV, I would get that going also.

Very true Bill, I too would start agressive water changes, run carbon, and clean all filters and replace all sponges and other media you can.

We've been doing water changes every other day since the deaths occured. We've been running fresh carbon since the issue began.
Bev, There has been no deaths lately. As for seing any damage to the corpses I haven't seen anything that would indicate laserations, dermal damage, or cellular decay. We have been looking each evening since you posted those links for the isopods I still think its connected to the foxface in some way. Anywhere that anyone can think where I could research more on foxface posion. I did search ReefCentral once, but I can't stay up that late anymore. I've searched via google, and a few other databases.

Catherine maybe try reef frontiers. They are pretty good at narrowing down problems. Anthony Calfo is on that board along with Mojoreef and both are pretty good at narrowing down things to try. Worth a shot anyway.

I retract my earlier statement of having had no more fish deaths...
My little ocellaris clown was just found dead, he apprently got stuck in the durso overflow, and his face was above water. What a terrible way to go. RIP Mr. Looking for Love.

Yes they do and here is a link
http://www.reeffrontiers.com/ I know when I was having a problem trying to figure out how to plumb my 190 Mike - Mojoreef - was excellent and did up a schematic that I was able to follow and even offered to phone and talk me through it. His web page is also well worth checking out.
