    Maybe your tank has low oxygen? Need more stats.

    No Protein skimmer, a sort of high temp, and it doesn't sound like any powerheads. I'd say probably low oxygen. Also...NO live rock?!?! Or CUC or protein skimmer with a canister filter? How is that tank not a nitrate factory?

    My yelow tail damsel just died. She just stoped swimming/foating and has sunk to the bottom. The domino Damsel is very very pale, breathing heavly and has white rings around his eyes.
