So I had my first death for my saltwater tank- my female clown: Zoey.
Trying to figure out exactly why she died. I have a 55gal with 1 remaining clownfish and a strawberry basslet. After removing the fish I tested and got NO3: 0 NH4: 0 and pH: 7.4
Both clowns were added at the same time 6 days ago. The basslet was added one week prior. Both other fish look healthy and happy. The only other thing that happened to my tank recently was a powerhead become unstuck and blew sand around my tank (assumably) for the better part of a day. I am already planning a water change for tomorrow and have 5 gal of saltwater mixing in a bucket. I am also going to go out and get a pH 8.2 buffer to raise my pH. Is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
P.S. I now need to remain Walter the remaining clownfish since he is totally going to become a she :'(
