This one was my third, and last try to keep my absolute favorite fish!! And now he too is gone!!
The first one I was stupid while doing the upgrade. I totally forgot to rinse the ESV sand(new). The second was another stupid mistake called impulse buy at Petland.
Now the third I purchased from Wonderful World of Fish from Steve. The 3" majestic ate mysis, and formula 1 flakes, and looked healthy therefore I felt confident.
He was in my 120 fowlr which became over croweded when I had to evict the three tangs out of my 155 reef, and put them in it. Currently there are 2 pt., 2 yellow, 1 sailfin tangs, 1 blue throat trigger, 1 dogface puffer, 1 orange toad fish, 1 zebra eel, 1 med. maroon & 1 small clarkie, and a damsel. No one was troubling the angel, he was immediately protected by the larger of the yellow tangs.
I had him for 2 to 3 weeks, and I noticed his eyes didn't look good. Not exactly pop eye, but they were cloudy. I went to Pet Smarts, and purchased Pima Fix. I removed carbon, poly pad, and took the skimmer of line. I do have 4 mj running on a wavemaker, and a Eheim1262 turned down via a ball valve as the return pump. I dosed the tank according to manufacture's recommendations Wed. & Thurs.. I feed mysis, angel formula cube, Formula 1 pellets, sea weed flakes, prawns, silver sides all soaked in Garlic, ran out of selcon. I do 20 to 25% weekly water changes with RO/DI. I did all I could think of to provide a proper home for not only the majestic, but for all my fish. All the other fish are healthy, swimming around, eating, a little on the chunky side.
What did I do wrong? I feel absolutely horrible that I have caused the death of 3 amazingly gorgeous creatures the good Lord created. This will most definitely be my last try with this particular fish as I do not believe on trying more then three times. Especially with the last time not doing anything wrong that I can put my finger on.:sad2:
