New to Site and Saltwater Aquariums

runninig the skimmer would do nothing bad and would help to oxygenate. was it all fresh made seawater? the ph of fresh made saltmix can be pretty high and if they were coming from an established tank...that was not well maintained, the ph in that tank could be pretty low. take fish from ph of 7 to ph of 10 is enough to kill em alone sometimes. add in others stressors like the move, temp etc and there you have it.sorry for the loss btw!

yea i had my buddy Thrawn stop in last night and help me get it all figured out. There was a big spike from the move/stress of the fish. There were 2 damsels 2 targets 2 groupers and a Hawaiian spotted puffer.the slug was at the top of the tank trying to get oxygen but now the Slug and Crab are fine and so are the maroon clowns now that i introduced the oxygen to the tank. i had no oxygen flow at all and that was a big mistake as i found out. thank you for the help and info. feel free to stop in my shop and check it out. its L's TAT2 in puyallup. going to start putting pics up soon.
