How old is the system? Are you dosing anything?

Hello,
Have you tested the water for copper or other metals? I had copper in my water and I lost 2 shrimp because of it. I used a Poly Filter for a month or so and all is good now.
Nitro

I'm dosing 1ml of vinegar at day they say is good , my system is about 6 month's old

 

[William78]

Any other ideas why they all die ??

Possibly low on iodine. It also can be from acclamation, inverts require a long dip acclamation process. 1 to 2 hour minimum slow drip.

Hhhmmmm well i have that shrimp from day one but idk i was supposed to use iodine for them. He was in tank about 5 month's

 

[William78]

If i add any iodine to the tank should i turn off the skimmer if yes for how long??

What salt are you Using? You might want to look into a element program for example Red Sea reef colors to dose all of your elements.
