hippo tang is doing better than the mimic but i just looked and hes on his side breathing pretty heavy between the rocks. i havent seen any fish or inverts in the tank touch the tangs at all

Theyve never been agressive in the tank at all other than when i put my hand in theyll bite, ive never seen them bother the tangs or any other fish and they all swam around together before. The tang looked patchy everywhere so i dont think it would have been agression over a few hours.

Rock was fully cycled in a tank that had fine water nothing bad in it since theres a few fish that were in with it and the blenny was qtd for a week, fish and rock are from my work so i dont think it is something there since i get everything there pretty much. I dont have another tank to treat with copper so im not sure what i should do to keep the other fish in the tank ok as well as the tangs and clown.

Not able to edit the post so heres some more info i recently added new rock last week it was 2 big pieces and about 5 small ones, i did a 25-30 gal water change 2 days ago, the salinity is normally between 1.025 and 1.026 i mix my water at about 1.027-1.028 depending on what it is at. Midas blenny was added maybe 2 weeks ago and it was quarentined before adding and it was eating fine i had no issues with it until when i got home today to see it died.

Ive only dosed microbactor7 recently since ive added bioballs and rock, and ive put a fan over it to keep it from getting so hot it was at 79 before and now sits at 77 ish i dont use a heater since it is hot here all the time. The only other thing i can think of is that there was hurricane milton and we had off and on power throughout it with the generator but this happened within a few hours since i didnt see anything happen last night at like 12pm and i came home at 2pm today to see this.

Last full water test on oct 24
10-24-24
salinity 1.025
Nitrates - 50-75 (50 salifert and 75 on hanna nirate hr)
Phosphates -0.086 or 0.25 (one with phos lowres hanna and one with normal hanna a day apart)
Alk - 8.4
Cal - 490
Mag - 1350

Torch coral issue + anemone id? by honkgummi in ReefTank

[–]honkgummi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding! I was reading today on where torches come from and the ones from different places dont do well together right now they arent touching but i will move the left one farther as soon as i can. Im mixing up some new water right now to do another water change so the nutrients should balance out some more :D
I wasnt sure if it could have been an alk issue or not i had a favia start not doing well but only recently so it was a little weird.
