I've been going through the same thing Frenchie. Lost my CBB, Ember Blenny and one of my Cardinals a couple days (a week?) ago. Things have stopped dieing now, corals are still looking good. I just upped the water change to around 25% per week, changed out my carbon and tried to avoid doing anything else in the tank to avoid uneccessary stress.

Things are looking better now, havn't lost a fish *knock on wood* and have noticed some new growth in my SPS frags....

hope things straighten themselves out for you soon

I vote that it was Mr Peacock (Mantis), in the cave with/using the...rope. (Yes, that's it, the mighty underwater lasso)

My Blue Tang (about 7-8") is by far king of my tank. He is not always a little brat but will chase fish around once in a while. He has stressed my Harlequin Tusk out pretty bad at times.

Its strange because they show no signs of illness, hours before their deaths they were eating and acting normal. And all the coral looks great.

I have been trying to raise my kh with the brs 2 part mix, but I only added 50 ml?

Could my blue tang be killing them? Hes alot bigger then they were.

Parameters are as follows

Ph- 8.2
No3- 0
No2- 0
No1- 0
Phosphates - 0
Ca- 420
Kh- 7.5
Mg- 1200

I'm stumped... and crushed!

I am sorry to hear of the fish loss
What kind of `blue`tang do you have and when did you add him

I would not be the regal tang responsible for the death.
Either the most recently added fish carried a pathogen (he would be sick too) or a change ocurred in your water ,temperature or there was oxygen starvation for some reason.
