Well I have some major bad news to report.. I finally figured out what was going on with my random fish death's. It turns out i had a velvet outbreak, and sadly it took out all of my fish. I lost the shark nose 3 days ago, he was eating fine and appeared to be happy. Then the next morning the royal, 1 clown, and 1 bangai were dead. By the end of that day my last 2 fish (a clown & bangai) had developed very small white spots, and both fish did not last through that night. It sucks, but i did learn a huge lesson, and will not add any more fish until i have a QT up and running. So i've been reading about velvet, and it looks like 8-9 weeks is the time line for the velvet to runs it course and die off. so that give me time to get a QT up and going. On a happier note all of my corals and inverts appear to be unaffected. in fact my paly's have doubled in size and is up to 6 polyps, and my hammer has 5 new heads starting from the base. I have to admit I did read a bunch of posts / build logs that said to ALWAYS RUN A QT, and i thought oh i'll just be careful.. well now I am paying the price for not doing so. So if you are reading this I can't stress it enough, start a QT at the same time you setup your main DT!!!
