Woke up this morning to 2 out of 3 of my fish dead... they looked fine before bed last night and not sure what happened, testing everything today, sad day.

Sorry to hear that Dillon :/ your tank is still really new isn't it? Maybe let it cycle a bit more and add fish slowly is all I can think.

Cool everything else is looking great good polyp extension on everything even the other fish is looking happy, kinda strange, I'm going to test and do a big water change.

Oh ok your build thread is October 27 so today would be 2 months to the day so adding fish after 1 month is probably why. either way sorry for your loss. I still have frags for you by the way

I hate that - waking up to find your buddies dead. No signs of disease obviously? Tested the salinity and others yet? That's a real bummer after the holiday. I've added fish to a system within a month with fully cured live rock and sand with no ill effects plus skimmer running slightly wet and of course after fully cycling.

I have to add that i keep a fairly light fish load though. In my 30 the fish are pair of clowns, starry blenny and mandarin and frozen food fed daily.

Salinity and ammonia were good nitrates slightly elevated.

Electricity leak? That's what I would expect if the corals seem fine, but fish are going down and water chemistry seems ok, but I'm certainly no expert.

+1. Break out your multimeter.
