Hi Guys
I need some help because something strange is happening in my tank. Last Sunday my PH was as low as 7.8 and so I dosed the tank with Koek Soda 1 tsp tested water 3/4 hour later added 1 tsp tested and so on until I added 6 tsp's and my PH was at 8.4.
On Tuesday evening my Flame Angel had bitten the dust and on Wednesday morning my Coral Beauty. Both fish had no external signs of disese or stress in fact but for the fact that they were dead looked quite healthy.
I immediately tested the PH (8.2), Ammonia (0), NO2 (0) & NO3 (+/-15).
On Saturday I did a 15% water change(my weekly task), yesterday I tested my parameters and they were as follows:-
PH = 8.3
NO2 = 0
PO4 = 0
NO3 = 15
Calcium = 375
SG = 1.022
KH = 9
Salinity = Normal
My test Eqipment is
for PH = PH pen (brand new)
for PO4 & KH = API
for the rest Red Sea
During Yesterday morning my Yellow Tang bit the dust and my Biclour Angel is starting to go the same way. It looks as though he is battling to breathe.
Any ideas what the problem can be and what to do to fix it?
PS my corals do not look tyo be in any trouble nor the remaining fish 1 x Pyjama Cardinal & 3 x Damsels
