Well I just lost all my fish except my clown to ich and I dont think he will make it till the morning. Bought a few cromies from ReefWise a few weeks ago and one didnt make it through the night. It has been a down hill battle from there so far over $300 in fish gone and if this clown dies it will be $400. I have pulled 3 dead ones out today alone. If the clown goes I will fun fallow for a few months and restock. All corals and inverts are fine.

Thanks everyone. All fish are gone and I will let the system run for 3 months fallow, in the meantime I will try to find a qt setup thats cheap even though I dont have room for one.

Tang, Yes I was medicating and soaking my food in garlic prior to feeding the past 2 weeks yesterday my ato hose somehow came out of the water and tank was blowing bubbles for a unknown time by the time I found it 1 fish was dead, 1 was swimming sideways and my clown was covered in ich. about 20 min later the 2nd died and the clown was going. He made it about 3 more hours before being caught by my emerald crab and being done for. I do not have UV but I will pick one up before any more fish come in play. Lesson learned.

That sucks, but I fear I'm moving in the same Direction, I came home from work yesterday to see a white spot on my Coral Beauty and him swimming sideways. Then at night I had a Blue Chromis that was just staring at the glass, so kind figured he was replaying his life's worth of adventures.

Woke up this AM to both fish stuck to my power heads dead. All other fish are active, and eating, but I will get the garlic today, assuming I can find it in Northern Illinois.

Also going to do a 50% water change and good cleaning. I'm not 100% sure, but the last thing I introduced in to my tank was a bunch of Amphipods & CopePod, from reef2go, it was a buy 1000 get 1000 free.
So wondering if that may be the way something was introduced?
