    Sorry to hear this, how long has the tank been up? DSB issue possibly?

    Are you sure those tests are accurate because if all your fish were dead you should have an ammonia spike then nitrite then nitrate. I'm very sorry though. I feel your pain. Hang in there!!!

    well all coral are doing fine. so maybe a poison of some sorts. ph normal 8.3. but all fish and shrimp are dead. crabs snails and almost all coral doing good. green star polyps are not extending but everything else is. no power outage and some one was home all day. might have been wife filling water from dirty bucket but then I would figure coral would die too. thanks all it is very sad times. just wish I could figure out what it was for sure. I was going to add a tang but that is not happening now. boo hoo.

    Oh man that SUCKS! I really hope you find out what did it. That's really weird that all your fish are gone, and yet your corals and almost all of your inverts are fine.

    Any airborne toxins in your house? I cover tank and turn off skimmer, close up shop basically when my husband wants to spray disinfectant in our fresh air return in air conditioning unit. Just never know how much of a toxin will make it into water in tank. So sorry for your loss

    once again, it sounds like some sort of natural toxin. I know that cucumbers and such affect the oxygen levels in the water. Fish suffocate to death but corals seem to be fine.
