Help! Tank crashed?

[CaseyLee]

One of the clown fish just died because of the brooklynella. And all my coral shutting down .. especially my carpet coral reacting weird. (The flash part)

 

[Humblefish]

Brooklynella wouldn't affect your corals/nems. Have you tested your water parameters lately (especially nitrates)? Did you use any chemicals to treat the clownfish right in the DT?

 

[aykwm]

+1 agree,
usually fish parasites don't effect corals, they might encyst them but that shouldn't effect them.
Probably something went wrong in parameters.
Any recent water change? What are nitrate levels? pH? Alkalinity?
Im guessing either water change introduced chloramines, or nitrates are high, or ph and alkalinity are not within recommended levels.

What were the symptoms on the clown that made you believe its brook? Did you use any medicines in tank?

Best of luck

Hi. I didn't put any medicine because the day I noticed (at night) it died on the next day. [emoji22] thinking will it be the live plankton I've order through online. I dosed it a week ago. It stressed me out and I do about 20-30% wc. And it looks slightly better today..

If the plankton is not from trusted source it might have contaminated your tank. Always make sure you get it from a known company as they come from sterile tanks.

 

[ThefishKing]

Check water parameters and give the corals a dip

Oh no I just came back and my anemone and torch are dying... What can I do now.. I think is not the plankton I dose.. maybe is the new coral I bought? Could it be the reason ??

 

[aykwm]

Any new corals added? Some parasites do infect corals but im not sure about anemone. Did you check your water parameters?

 

[justinm]

Anemones get sick just like fish. They are collected very poorly and are very prone to bacterial infections and succumb. There is a cipro treatment that has proven to work quite well with sick nems.

As for your torch, sometimes LPS just suck in. Until you see skeleton I wouldn't worry too much.

I didn't see any parameters posted. What is your SG, cal, alk, nitrates, ammonia, test everything and let us know. Something may be all out of whack.

PO4 0.1
NO3 15
Cal 400( abit low)
Mg 1350
Kh 8 (low?)
PH 7.8 (low)
Will track again later...
I dose kh, and cal.

All the coral are doing well,
There's a time anemone stick on my torch. And both of them stung each other maybe?
(I think it's not the plankton / or.new coral problem?)
my torch (3 heads) and two had gone I gently brush off the flash =(

 

[justinm]

That is definitely a possibility that the two have hurt one another. How long ago was this?

Parameters don't look too hateful. PO4 is a little high, not terrible, and nitrates are a little high as well. Everything else looks within reasonable range.

I believe the plankton/new coral idea was more towards adding parasites to the tank. How many other fish are in your tank?

I think the anemone on the torch about at least few hours ..( 3 days ago)

Yesterday, Two head of my torch melt and gone. Now left one, but I'm not sure it will make it or no.. The water are smelly because of the dying torch n I did some water changes

I didn't have much fish tho, only two clown( 1 died) another is recovering
And a yellow wrasses , doctor Shrimp, snails etc.. And a scooter Blenny

If two of the heads are done, grab some bone cutters and cut the 2 dead heads off. It sounds more like the anemone and hammer faught and the anemone won.
