SRC Member GATECRASHER Posted August 31, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 31, 2003 I'm getting real fedup with this sudden death syndrome that I'm facing for my marine tank which is cycled. Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = almost zero Ph=8.4 Kh = 12 Temp = 26.5-28 degrees so why the heck are my damsels dying once a few days? I have 5 inch dsb which have air pockets and my tank is one and a half months old oredi. Got 33kg of cured live rocks as well as a cannister filter. Also got one medium powerhead and protein skimmer in it. I use to have: 10 three striped damsels 4 blue damsels 4 yellow tail damsels 4 chromis 2 majestic shrimps ( mini lobster ) 2 boxing shrimps 15 clowns 2 big striped butterflies today I have : 10 3 striped damsels 0 blue damsels 0 yellow tail damsels 1 chromis 1 majestic shrimp 0 boxing shrimps 0 clowns 0 butterflies My BIG trigger is in my other 4ft tank. so WTF is going on huh?

How big is your tank.......... You seem to stock your tank with too much fish at one time..... Looking at the amount of damsel, you put is scary manz....... Anyway damsel are fierce and territorial and known to attack each other......... BTW i dun think thats the problem, IMO you better stop adding for few weeks and then add fishes slowly, and not rush all at same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member pospeh Posted August 31, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted August 31, 2003 Are you sure your test kit numbers are correct? What 40+ fishes in a 4 foot tank, the nitrite numbers should be higher, especially if there has been a huge die-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
