    ok, today changed 25 gallons of water out and replaced my carbon. We will see if this helps matters at all. The other clown, and 3 stripe damsel appear to be fine, along with the diamond goby.

    I dont think it is your kits but maybe something your kits are not picking up. Hope all goes well.

    well, my water is fine. Tests just like mine. He thinks its bacterial (this LFS has literally probably 400 55 gallon tanks just lined with fresh water fish, and probably another 100 with salt water fish, so I know he isnt trying to screw me around and try and get me to buy stuff, as he just told me what to use. Didnt even ask if I had any. They are pretty cool like that. Anyhow, he told me to try treating with melafix for 5 days, then do another 25% water change and see what happens. He also thinks my PH is swining too far perhaps and causing them more stress. We will see what happens.

    OH, something else, none of my inverts are dieing. Which seems odd to me, you would think if my params or something was off, they would be dropping like flies. Not a single snail has died, nor my cleaner shrimp.
