What were the actual test values? (and what test kit brands did you use?)
Flow?
Lighting?
Substrate?
Fish type?
Coral type?
Other inhabitants?

What fish did you lose, and when?

 

[mmkeeper]

What are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate test results?

What are your actual parameters for nitrate, calcium, and alkalinity?

How often are you doing water changes?

A and B every day? Sounds like a lot for a 75G tank.

Fish loss due to an imbalance of water chemistry?
I have to second that we need to see your actual water #'s

 

[mmkeeper]

How much part a and part b do you add? How much Iodine are you adding?

Especially for a tank with the only lsted calcium-consumer being halimedia ...


Any test result numbers yet? (and what test kit was used)
