![]() That's a lot of livestock to add at once. The presence of nitrite indicates a cycle has occurred meaning that it could have been ammonia.
I'd still crack the FX5 open and give it a sniff. |

![]() still just very odd to lose all the fish overnight and the corals are still alive. some more investigation is needed i think.

![]() The ammonia was at 0.0
Nitrate was at .8 I know it was alot of fish at once, but there were only 3 in there and I didnt expect them all to die. I opened the FX5 and it didnt stink like rotten eggs, Checked it two weeks ago. I did another water change tonight, I changed 50% and the KH is still high, its at 140, with a safe range of 100-125, Im going to take my water to AA tommorow and get them to test it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() Your water parameters seem to be fine. At least not to the point that it would kill everything overnight. It almost sounds like you might have had a CO2 build up. Using a cannister doesn't agitate the surface so this might have been the cause.
Just trying to help narrow down the possibilities.

![]() You keep saying Nitrate - which is not really toxic to fish.
If you say Nitrate (No3) being 0.8 - I think you mean Nitrite (No2) - which is very toxic. Sorry about your loss. It was just too many fish added at once. Bummer. |
