Marine Velvet, I can't believe its happening to me.

Sorry to hear about your losses. That's awful.

I'm curious to know if you think the underlying cause of this was due to the temperature swings? I have a similar situation. I also have a RSM250 (sumpless though) and now that it's warming up this summer finally the temperature is getting a bit warm. Normally sits a bit warm around 79 - 80. It's warming up to 81 - 82 now though. My fish have stayed healthy so far (knock on wood).

You have a lot of fish in a small space (16 if I counted correctly). Isn't marine velvet similar to other diseases where stress increases the chances of it occuring? You don't think this may have contributed?

The previous comment isn't meant to be rude or anything either I'm still fairly new to this and just appreciate the knowledge of experienced reefers in the learning process.

I hope things turn around for you.
