I lost 6 fish in the last three days.
Today alone, three die.
It's very upsetting.
All thou I lost a lot of money, the worst part to me is to take a fish out of his reef and bring him home to die. Also some of those fish I've had for a couple of yeras and they survived black out, heat, and everything you can think of. fery discouraging.
I feel like getting rid of everything.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Alfredo.

loss of fish

how long has your tank been running ? do you have any LTA'S in your tank ? just asking from previous experiance, which isn't alot, had a lta condy in tank and it was slowly wiping fish out in tank, took me a little while to figure out, and ive had trouble with 4 previous clown's, with ick. and all parameter's were good, and don't dose, well except the few thing's you need to, easy to run nutrients up high. best of luck and it's to late to quit now, :givebeer:

Sorry for the loss of your tank, that ich outbreak is really bad in your tank. I would try to get the rest of the fish out and qt them and treat them with copper and see if that can prevent any more losses.

Srry to hear about your losses ,I know the feeling ,wheni had a FO tank i had the same prblem ,But im thinking it wasnt ich that killed all your fish so fast ,7 day and you lost 6 fish

What fish have you added without QT and where did you get them from .Where they QT ed before ,wild caught .Some wild caught fish may carry other things.,....IMO If youre going to add new fish ..you should have a qt tank for the future .4 week or better in a qt tank will save you lots of money and headache
