What’s your Salinity at? Have you double checked salinity with two different methods? Sometimes our salinity is off.

Phosphates ? Post your parameters please

 

[Tesreen]

Yes, 1.023. Both twitch refractometer and hydrometer.

Do you typically run salinity low ?

ok yeah that’s important for corals to know why they may be bothered however fish dying is unusual

Was it 3 weeks ago that you added the first fish initially? If not, when in the timeline?

How far before the first first, did you add the last fish?

Do you have any more fish in this system?

So, what is the appropriate salin

followed instructions of lfs I set up tank for 2 weeks using DrTim’s bacteria. Went back to store and told them all parameters are with in normal limit. They suggested 2 clown fish for 2 weeks, went back and I asked if I can have 2 blue neon gobby, they said it was fine and see how things go for 2 weeks, went back, all numbers are good. They gave me clean up crew. Waited for few weeks, went back and got my first coral Xenia!!!
