mysterious fish losses

[EmilyB]

You have a beautiful home and an awesome system !

Just as a follow-up for everyone, the alkalinity of the new saltwater, and the tank was so far off the chart, I didn't know how to calculate it (1.5 syringes approximately for anyone wanting to do the calculation for me ) The tank was probably gradually climbing with each water change.

Why don't LFS check for alkalinity ?

Anyway, this might be traceable back to the bad batch of IO salt. I suggested sending back a sample for testing, new salt and a gradual reduction in Alk which maybe you guys can help with.

Anne and David, please let us all know how things go.
