I have a 159 litre Marine tank, its now been running for year, Ive had from the Start a blue damsel, and then from then on added 2 clowns, a cleaner wrasse, 1 strawberry gramma, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 green goby, 1 eibls angel and 1 sunburst butterflyfish, a fairy wrasse and most recently a blennie. I bought the fish around 1 every month, giving the others time to settle in. In the past 3 weeks ive lost The Fairy wrasse, no apparant reason, the i lost the cleaner wrasse, no apperant reason, i then conducted a PH, Ammonia, nitrate n nitrite test, everything is spot on, ive now not seen my blennie for 2 weeks and i woke up this morning a dead clown fish. I did another water test on everything and its all fine, Gravity is 1.024 I cant figure out whats wrong, i was wondering if anyone can help? or if anyone has has similar problems. |

this might sound stupid, Have you done any water changes, Have you checked your Iron levels and phosphate, Whats your GH and KH,do you have any cleaner shrimps as they are far better than the wrasses,the cleaner wrasses are very hard to keep they need the mucas of the other fish to live.Did you get all the fish from the same shop if so then change your supplier. |

I have a 46 gallon bow front saltwater tank. I have a fluidize sandbed and a reno canister connected to an a eco aqualizer. I've been having problems with fish dying. The only fish that don't seem to be affected is a hawkfish and a dragon wrasse and i've went through about 15 fish.Is thier any body with any answers. |

How long have you had the test-kits?
I think they have a shelf-life after they have been opened. What about getting your water checked by your LFS. |
