Hi all

I need some help I came down to my tank this morning to find my sailfin tang floating in the top corner of the tank he seems unable to swim down the tank. I check my water parameters this morning and got these readings.

Sg 1.026
No3 0
Po4 0.1
Mag 930
Cal 340
Dkh 6

I have dosed dkh this morning to raise it back up as it is a little lower than normal. Will dose mag an calc later.

Tang has been in the tank about a year and no problems till this morning. All new additions to tank have been qtd and most recent addition was about a month ago. I can't see any signs of ich or any other disease and all the other fish seem to be behaving normally. I would like some advice for what is wrong and how to fix it as I am very fond of my tang.

Tank is 100g mixed reef tank and the tang was behaving normally yesterday and was eating yesterday.

Please help

Thanks

Sorry to hear this... I hope you find the strength to move on. Loosing any fish hurts.

Sometimes fish die for no apparent reason. I had a Sailfin die like that. Fine in the morning and dead on the sand at lunch. No observable cause, just dead.
