FISH KEEP DYING

[Hafiz-zul Hasif]

hey guys I bought some fishes from iwarna and ah beng. Put the fishes in and after a few days (4-5) all of my fishes died.

What is now living in my tank?

- 2 mandarins

-(unknown angelfish) 4-5

-2 snails

-2 starfish

- dollar goby?

What I have inside my tank:

- emperor angelfish

-regal angelfish

-tomato clownfish

-clownfish

-brown tang x 2

-banner

-Morris idol

-

Corals:

2 anemone.

Zous

Dimension of tank?

4(L) x 2( x2 (H)

My opinion: I think they died because of high PH? Or low? I have NEVER tested out the PH. Because I don't have the kit. I'll get one tmrw. Water stanility is ok. *i have put some bacteria thing*

Thanks for reading guys! Hope you can help me out!

Bro... Did you acclimatize your new additions?

Bro, post some pic of ur tank n sump n setup..

For Ph problem, u will see the fish eyes become cloudy n swollen..prolong will kill them of Coz..

if tank is exposed to light most of the time, Ph shd b no problem..

So now ur tank fishless?

[xiggie]

Clown fish also died?? Hmmm there must be something really bad goin on in your tank..

More info about the tank would be better..

Ya clown fish also died. Left with only angelfish damsels and mandarin. Hope they survive.

Btw all the fish when the die there's cloudy eye. And some little white spot.

How old is your tank?

Did you cycle the tank properly before adding livestock?

Did you stock up slowly or bought many fishes at one go?

My tank is already 1month old. I cycle for 2weeks then I add livestock. I bought the fishes slowly.

Bro... Not sure whether your tank is ready after only 2 weeks of cycling. Normally tank require about a month to cycle and stabilize although some Bros here claim that their tank can be cycled in less than a month... I suggest you read up on tank cycling in this forum... Many seniors have shared their experiences there... I think most Bros will tell you to be that patience is the key... Happy Reefing...!

[Martian]

I think I did.

Bro... Acclimatize also no use if your tank is not mature enough... You need to cycle not less than 4 weeks...

[Hafiz-zul Hasif]

Thanks for the info Martian.

For a 1-month old tank, I have a feeling that you are stocking fishes too fast - especially anemones needs a mature tank of no less than 6 months...marine reefing is not a hobby that can be rushed.

Probably suggest you stop stocking for now and test your parameters.

[SunkistC]

Cycle 2 weeks is possible if you dose bacteria to speed up the cycling process and provided you have enough biological media such as bacteria king and lots of live rocks for the bacteria to colonize. Even if you dose bacteria to shorten cycling period to 2 or 3 weeks, you should only start with 1 fish and slowly add 1 per 2 weeks.. but you added more than 10 fishes within 2 weeks

From your sump setup, can't see clearly what's under the filter wool.. probably not using any carbon dosing method such as Bio-spheres, Nitra guard or bio-pellets? So next question is how do you deal with nutrients export? By frequent water change?

Are you using a Weipro skimmer? It looks under-sized for your 4x2x2 tank.

My guess is your biological filter is not matured and ammonia spike is killing your fishes.

Plus you added 2 anemones to an unmatured tank.. if the anemones die and you did not remove fast enough.. you entire tank will be wiped out

[Shamsul]

Bro, better you can post your Nitrate, Nitrite & Ammonia readings.

[orsony]

Normally cloudy eyes are due to ich. Plus you mention white spots. So high chance is you have ich in your tank.

Dose copper in your tank if there is no corals. However need to remove snail, shrimp, star fish etc.

Good luck to you.

Bro I've never tested it.

[Hafiz-zul Hasif]

Thanks to all the bros for providing useful information.

Bro I've never tested it.

Got Stray voltage thru the tank?

2weeks abit to fast to stock

Yeah Bro Martion Stated Better to test PH..
