Hey guys, its been a few years but i'm back with my tail between my legs.
This was me a few years ago..
Featured System May 2011 - Amalick - Marine Aquariums South Africa
This system suffered a huge collapse about 1 year ago. I was too embarrassed to post on the forum. Long story short.... I lost everything in 24 hours.
I got over it and started again, but now my losses are starting all over again with the same symptoms and I need your wisdom.
My fish keep dying overnight and all my measurable water paremeters are almost perfect. I'm not going to list them here for the sake of not typing an essay.
As I type this message I just lost another 3 fish. This plays out like this. One day they are fine and then overnight DEATH!!. THey just lie down and die as if they are falling asleep. If I catch it in time and can get them out an put them in my QT and 5 times of 10 they recover.
Tangs seem to be the most prone to this. My corals are all doing fine and many fish are not affected at all. In fact I have a fox face that has been in the tank for 6 months now with no such symptoms.
Please help, because I am very close to throwing the towel in again. I am looking for anyone who has seen something similar or if there is any advise that you gurus may have to prevent another crash which seems very possible.
More posts to follow, with some video and pics when i'm less stressed
