A sad and shocking Thursday

[Yauc54]

Last thing I did was feeding the corals.

My normal routine of mysis, ploy lab coral food and phytoplankton.

Woke up this morning and I was shocked w what I saw!

I am guessing its food poisoning as sps, lps are ok.

Anyone?

My current worry is the 2 missing anthias.

Dumped the frozen food. Had them for 8 months, not a chance to react. Haiz..

Bro, I had similar experience as you.

Some time back, I was feeding my tank a mixture of poly lab reef rod and phytoplankton about one/twice a week. All I had in tank at that time was, a couple of clowns, hammer, octo coral, zoas, yuma-mushrooms, jewel/gonio and a xenia frag.

The next day after feedings, my mushrooms would shrink and spew black stuff out from it mouth. I thought it may be just expelling excessive waste due to the rich feeding, so I just continued the practise. However, 2-3 weeks of feeding later, I lost my hammer, followed by octo then jewel and lastly the xenia, all died in a span of less than 2 weeks.

I do not know if it was the feeding, or something else. But I just stop feeding the reef rod & phytoplankton mixture since.

Mine reef rod and phytoplankton not expired.

Similar experience I had many mths ago. Feed with some liquid coral food and within half hour, all my fish belly up.

My condolences, bro. Find out the root cause yet?

Sorry for your loses man. Didnt know that expired food can kill fishes!... i lost 1 algea blenny 1 sail fin tank and 1 true prec followed by my chiller didnt switch on incident.

[HappyReef]

I understand the feeling of lost esp the fishes have been with u for months/years.

[digibee]

Expired pellets that are stored in the fridge does no harm to fish le.....

[DottyClown]

So what's ur feeding regime, 1 type per day?

Fishes, I feed once a day with pellets, and 2-3 times a week with Mysis.

Corals, I tried feeding hammer and Octo with Mysis, but I don't see them feed. That's why I tried Reef Rod and Phytoplankton.

But now I stopped Reef Rod & Phytoplankton.

Bro. Do. U have any sea cucumber sea urchine?

[Robin Caapora]

Sorry to hear your losses. It happened to me before. My guess is maybe something died overnight, leading to sudden ammonia surge and death of other fishes.

No sea slug, no sea cucumber, no anemone death.
