Thanks. All the fish in the 72g are flashing/scratching, not a lot but enough. I started a salt/heat treatment about 11 days ago just in case of ich (no sign of ich though).
Dying Albino Socolofi

Well I found a dead OB Zebra today. 
I would believe that it is also just a matter of the weakest link but all of them dying at the same time is a bit unusual. Is there anything else I can do to make sure there is nothing wrong in my tank?

OK, I want to tell you this, my friend: I started my 55gal tank with 28 juvies. I lost 7 of them during the first 6 weeks; no losses since then on the last 4 months. So don't get freaked, but of course, keep an eye on them.
About the scratching, was there in the tank any sudden drop in temperature? What's the water temp right now? No signs of ich or fin damage in any fish?

Thanks for that.
The temperature is normally about 77F in the morning and about 82F right before the lights go out. Right now it is about 82F in the am and 85F in the pm (for salt/heat treatment). There has never been a large or long drop in the temp though.
There is no signs of ich but my largest fish, the dominant yellow lab, does have some damage to his anal fin. I have not noticed any other damage but will check again.

What is your Hardness at right now the flashing is also a indication of lower Hardness and it may be as simple as raising it.
My Kh is still at 8kdh. I do not have a working GH test kit, for some reason API kits do not work on the water in my area & of course that is what I currently have.
Cool i would try to order one on-line if it were me so that you can get a look at the hardness it may be whats wrong at the moment because it sounds like you have everything else in check, take care..
Yup I have a Hagen GH test kit on order right now.
Everything was superb! I can't thank you enough! And don't worry I'll keep some rustys aside for ya.
