I have a 20 gallon tank that has 7 pounds of live rock, 2 blue foot crabs, 2 clown fish, a sebae anemone and a mandarin. Well had all that. I got my water premade from ashop. acclimated the way he told me to. bags sat for an hour then slowly added water from my tank to the bags to mix them slowly. then after 20 minutes of adjusting I put them in. They all looked good except the mandarin which had some slime on him.
The sabae is a dark tan and looks good. But it will not eat the food I dropped with a tube to it's mouth. The mandarin died, and 1 clown fish died. Niether would host with the anemone and still have not after 18 hours.
i also had a peppermint shrimp that died 3 minutes after being released to my tank. I think the crabs might of even died. I checked my ph balance and it is at 8 to 8.1
I am under powered for light and have a suction filter that drops a waterfall of water back into the tank.
What should I do to save my anemone and remaining fish. This is my first tank and I am at a loss as to why everything is dying. Kind of depressing but I will not give up...
