HELP! Crownfish died today, Firefish a few days ago.

I got an order in from LiveAquaria 4 days ago.

A few days ago (maybe 4) one of the firefish died. I didn't think much of it, seeing as the firefish wasn't exactly very active.

However, today, a clownfish I got died. I have no idea why.

I woke up to my tank full of bubbles (water level in sump was low because of RODI reservoir getting low), and a dead clownfish. Could that have been the cause?

Tank Size: 125g + 30g sump.
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0

What other livestock do you have in the tank?
How long have you had the fish in question? ( "... not long ago" doesn't tell us anything)

Please tell us anything else about your system that might be a factor.

I don't think the ATO water supply running low was a factor. I suspect something else.

Yellow Tang, Clown Fish, Watchman Goby + Pistol Shrimp, Diamond Back Goby, 2x Purple Firefish.

I also updated the original post with results from my water test.

Liveaquaria has a fairly good warranty. Contact them as soon as you can.

How did you acclimate the fish? How long has the tank been running?

I see the results of the water test. Did you take this water test at the time the fish died? or something after?

Bubbles don't usually kill fish. Stress can, as well as many other things.
