as the title says - i had a powder blue tang in my bare bottom, pvc pipe QT tank for 5 weeks (TTM first then into QT) and it was doing great. Tonight I mixed some salt water with 2 day old RODI water (also used some of the same water for 2 freshwater tanks). Mixd it for about 3 hours with a heater in the tub to match temp. Changed out 5 gals of a 20 gal tank. As soon as I turned on the filters the fish started swimming wildly and then landed on the bottom of the tank leaning against the side, dead within minutes.
tub and buckets are only used for tanks
the salt was from a new 200 gal box of IO, one bag put into a 5 gal bucket and mixed before use
the freshwater tanks are fine.
I have no clue what happened but now I'm affraid to mix any more for my other tanks until I know it won't kill them
any ideas on how to figure it out?
