Love seeing such amazing growth. Beautiful tank by the way.

I ended up ordering new gear to set up a 50 gallon quarantine tank. Before I left on my trip I had picked up a 50 gallon tank from Neptune Systems. It used to be one of their display tanks. It has a few scratches. A couple of finger nails deep scratches. I was thinking of bugging them out, but...

Yes the fish are eating and pooping. Most of the poop is small particles… though I did see a few stringy ones here and there.

I am assuming less than 12 hours as I saw it the night before and found it dead in the AM.

Apatite was decent. No, not tearing the nori off, but it was getting some and forging around. Same with the other tangs.

about three months ago.

This could be the case. Though, I don't have a blue devil damsel, but I did get some blue Chromis fish. As of now, I have a clown tang, a yellow tang, a blond naso tang, chromis, and a yellow head gobi.

Thank you. PBT about a one year. yellow belly Blue Tang 4+ years. Sohal Tang 6 months Purple Tang 6 months Bangi bijama fish 3 month Anthias 3 months There are a few others that I am just too depressed to remember.

No. The dying started before adding the nem. As far as the water, not that I am aware of. To your point it could be a disease of some sort.

Yeah, these guys are awesome. Great prices. I've ordered from them many times before. Anything over $39 ships free.

Not before this ordeal started. I added a nem two weekends ago and a couple of frags from folks this past weekend. I dip all my corals and acclimate.... but to your point, this could just be a slow death for most of them.

Found my powder blue dead this morning. I don't see any scars/wounds. I'm just speechless. On top of this, I am leaving on a trip tonight for a week. Will see what's left when I get back. When I get back, I am going to start setting up another smaller tank. Take all the fish out. Almost...

Thank you. Well what's left of them.

No big changes. Same schedule for the past couple of years. Two months ago I got the plank and been using it to feed the same food/pellets, but also mixed plankton with it. The fish devour it. Of course I also add nori for the tangs and other herbivores.

I don't disagree with you. But I do need a solution for all the detritus/debris in my tank. Filter socks are a pain. Curious to know more about why you think it's unnecessary?

Reducing the flow rate is not ideal for this size of a system.

That's an understatement. :p

i didn’t take too many pics of the fish as it was kind bare. I did do an ICP test and it came back last Friday. Nothing I didn’t already know. Higher phosphates. No heavy metals indicated in the report. See images below. As far as the string poop, I have not seen any stringy poop to be honest.

So I pinged Red Sea about plumbing and how I could fit the reef mat and this is their answer Their suggestion is to get two 1200.

Found my juvenile angle dead today. No visible scars/wounds. I am just baffled at this point. I've never had 5 fish die in a span of two weeks.
