Hello
Hope you guys can help!
I have a 12 gallon tank with live sand and dry rock that is 8 weeks old. I was advised to fish in cycle with 2 x clowns with colony added after 4 days. Everything was going so well and after 3 weeks and some testing at the coral shop, my tank had cycled after 3 weeks.
Water parameters were stable and Ammonia 0
Nitrate 10
Nitrite 0
Phosphate 0
Mag 1111
Cal 480
(Doing larger water changes to try and bring Mag/Cal up)
At week 5 I added a small palythoa.
Anyway, after 2 weeks of the Palythoa being placed in the sand, I attempted to move it to a place on my rock with some D&D aqua poxy putty. The palythoa fell off the rock once but I replaced it back (it did seem annoyed and ?let go for a white film)
12 hours later. Both my clowns were dead after seeming very happy in the morning. They were both wedged in the rock. Could the paly have killed? I’ve done a 40% water change, what do you think the next steps are?
I have nothing else in the tank.
Thanks guys
