Okay, so I wake up and turn lights on to my tank after noticing an odd lump of "sand" and see that it's my diamond goby upside down dead. In a frenzy I turn the other set of lights on to find my Coral Beauty Angel a hideous color of brown, no hint of the color she had yesterday. My clowns - though retarded - are acting abnormally strange while they look okay in terms of color and whatnot; the wrasse is buried in the sand so I won't know until he comes out. All of my parameters are fine minus SG being barely higher than I would like it to be due to forgetting to turn the heater on to the top off supply before I went to bed Tuesday night. :help:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5
SG - 1.026
pH - 8.4
temperature - 80
All inverts (snails, crabs, shrimp) are accounted for and doing well. All corals are also doing well, were extended prior to light being on, clam is doing well. The only thing I added in the last week + in terms of livestock is a long tentacled plate coral which is also doing well. What on earth is going on?
I had a 20g long set up at hyposalinity going to cycle today since i had plans on getting a yellow tang to replace the Kole tang that decided to do some carpet surfing but as of right now, the coral beauty is in the process of going in there, and I pretty much am thinking I'm going to QT all my fish since I'm left wondering if there is disease in there. Nothing could have contaminated the water to the best of my knowledge. Buckets/containers are only used for tank water, lids kept on, chemicals kept away, etc. Any ideas?
