I have a 60 Gal mixed reef that I've had up since this June. I've lost a cleaner shrimp within 24 hours, I think it was due to my swift acclimation. Just lost one of the two firecrackers I purchased 6 days ago, this one was all over the tank and eating like a pig and now he's on his back twitching. The other smaller one appears to be fine... so far.
I use RO/DI and Red Sea Pro salt, 10 gallon water change 6 days ago and my parameters are:
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 5
PH 8.2
Alk 8
SG 1026
Temp 78

Hammer
Frogspawn
Flower Anemone
Tomato Clowns x2
Starry Blenny
Yellow Tang
Yellow Watchman Goby

Any ideas on why would be appreciated.
 
Do you do any other essential element dosing that consists iodine?
