+1 on what Todd said and make it a large one.

stray voltage?

sudden death? are you finding bodies? heavy breathing?

 

[Nanojoel]

About to upload now, Iv'e put them in a breeding net inside the tank to keep them safe

 

[Nanojoel]

Only one death so far and that was my cleaner shrimp

 

[benny z]

... whut

 

[Nanojoel]

The pictures are taking ages to upload. I first found my cleaner shrimp dead in the tank, with my two clowns and peacock wrasse on the bottom on the tank with abnormal breathing... so Iv'e put them in a breeding net, to keep them off the bottom of the tank

 

[Nanojoel]

There breathing heavy 2 watchman gobys are fine

 

[Nanojoel]

I cant see any signs of disease on them, just have no idea what to do

 

[socal619]

Ph? Not enough oxygen in the water? Idk bro post your parameters

 

[Nanojoel]

PH= 8.3
Ammonia = 0PPM
Nitrite = Oppm
Nitrate = 5.0PPM

Just incase it was the oxygen ive placed an air stone in

 

[inurocker]

Have you made any recent changes? salt, aditives, filter, water supply, tank temp ECT. Have you used any aerosol products Have you over heated any Teflon cook ware?

 

[Nanojoel]

about 3 weeks ago i started dosing with, kent marines nano reef part a and part b. But thats it

 

[inurocker]

Any new livestock? Could something has been dropped or knocked in the tank by accident it is the Christmas season? Just bouncing ideas sometimes it is the simplest thing that can trip you up.

Any house cleaning been going on? Air freshener spray?

 

[Nanojoel]

nothing new has been put into the tank, other than a new coral a few weeks ago. No nothing could have fallen in it, Its in my room away from anyone putting cleaning products near it

I just went through the same issue. Never solved it 100% but I removed a heater, about 2.5 gallons of macroalgae and ran mega dose of carbon and my remaining fish are fine now.

+1 Stray voltage, that's exactly how my fish were acting when I had stray voltage in my tank last year. Wasn't able to discover it until they died, which sucked, but my culprit was the heater. If you have an extra one I would replace it just in case, unless you have a voltage meter. Shut everything off and turn on one at a time, to determine which piece of equipment might be causing a spike.
