Help please from those with experience. I have always had freshwater tanks and am familiar with cycling new tanks. However, inherited a set up, made a move two and a half weeks ago. fish n reef. Has been going well. Water parametes good. No amonia, ph 8.2, nitrites neg, today salinity is a little high ( need to add ro, but has been ok) had started getting some brown algae. Very suddenly, started loosing fish and all my soft corals dead.
Do I sit back and watch to let it cycle? Will probably loose what I have left? How could the water indices be normal? Should I check something else. Water change. Temperature fluctuates a little between evening and afternoon after lights on. Have timers set for blue t5, metal halide, and fans.
Had a slug, which died first and was removed (in pieces, maybe partially eaten?) Could a slug be poisonous?
Please respond someone with experience, I'm distraught
