Dead fish pics below... you have been warned.

Well, I lost two fish today. We will see who is still left in the morning. I tried to get everyone else out but I can't catch them.

I noticed that Nemo was not acting normally (slow, lathatgic) so I started getting ready to transfer it to a hospital tank.

I had literally just broke down the last "extra" tank that I had going in the basement. So I needed to heat the water first.

IDK if it would have made a difference Nemo was dead and then Neon my Atlantic Blue Tang was gone shortly after.

I have no idea what caused this. One fish I could deal with but two makes me say something caused this issue.

Neither of them were showing any signs of illness. A few hours ago I would have said that they were in great health.

I can assure you that the little specs/bumps are just sand grains from me collecting them out of the display.

I'll update In the morning if there are any more surprises.

I'm so sorry!
 
Bummer , PH has been stable ? not an oxygen issue ?

First thing that I thought was oxygen depletion. That is what it looked like to me. I turned my eductors up to pull in some air. pH is consistently at 0.2 daily flux, there weren't any peaks or dips today.
I replaced my calcium supplement and my carbon a few days ago. I also added about 5 pounds of new clean sand to the system.
 
Good news is no additional losses and everyone is looking good, acting normal, and active. Bad news is that I am still at a complete loss as to why I lost two presumably healty fish within minuets of each other and only an hour, maybe an hour and a half, after showing lathatgic behavior.

This has not been my year for fish.

I’m sorry you are going through this. I have a feeling 2023 is going to be a good year for you.
