Sooooo im new to this quarantine game im not one to buy many fish. anyways, i have a 20 gallon all in one nuvo that im using for quarantine. i had two fancy clown fish with ich in there, they where swimming doing there little dance and eating.
Yesterday i tested the water and found it had 0.25 ppm nitrites so i added a bit of prime and i quickly did a water change roughly 80-90% water. i matched salinity and same salt. nitrites where now at 0.
i added a half dose to copper to get it back up and today i was going to measure and put copper back to the 0.5 concentration. (it was at 0.2-0.3) buuut when i got back from work both fish where dead =(. nitrites 0 ammonia 0 nitrates 5. copper 0.3 ish.
did i change too much water? should i wait to add the copper back next time or what am i missing. this is the second time this happens i feel terrible.......
