Came home to find the blue tang and lion both lying on their sides, breathing hard, and not eating. No physical signs of any problem (on the lion--the tang is buried in the rock, and we can just see his mouth). Nitrates are less than 10, ph is 8.2, temp is 80.1, sg is 1.024. No one else appears in distress, ccorals are out and happy, inverts are scrambling around like normal, trigger is swimming his normal laps.
Setup: 2 65 gallon tanks and one 50, plumbed together with a 20 gallon sump. Lion is in with the trigger, LR, DSB, and caulerpa, tang is in the reef with LR, DSB, a blue damsel, a bicolor angel, engineer goby, and a mandarin dragonnette, mix of crabs, stars, etc. In the process of doing a water change.
Any ideas what could be going on here? I'd hate to lose either...We're about 2 weeks away from upgrading the tanks for these 2 fish.
