So if my "lack" of filtration is what killed my fish why were there big wounds on my fish? I'm also not sure why I'm being told my tank couldn't handle the bio load when my ammonia and nitrite have been at zero since I first cycled the tank and my nitrates rarely came above 20ppm.
So far all this "advice" I've been given has been of no help no one has given me any reasonable answers to why my fish died. They didn't die from lack of oxygen or poor water quality, they weren't bullied to death I just want opinions about what might cause a fish to die in 24hrs time and end up with big wounds and pale color.
Your not getting it.
You created a poor environment for your tangs, too many tangs, in too small a tank, and the tanks filtration system was way below what you need for a tank that size. You almost can't help but have poor water quality, in spite of what your test kits read.
Most likely, you didn't quarantine them either, and tangs are notorious disease carriers, especially SW ich.
The dead fish show some obvious wounds, and possible parasites. It's quite possible the fish fought because they felt too confined. Each tang has a pair of scalpel-like spines at the base of the tail that can really do a number on anything they don't like. It's also possible they got all those wounds from flashing against the LR and corals because of parasites.
In my opinion that is why your tangs died. With those kind of conditions and stress on the fish, what other results would you expect?
I can't help but think that your unhappy because you are not getting the answers you want to hear. Just about everyone that replied to you gave you good advice as to why your tangs died. You don't need to believe it. If your still in doubt, and you really think you got bad advice, post those same questions on another reef forum, and see what sort of answers you get.
