Could be that there is a territory problem going on. Some unseen picking on of the new fish by the dominators of your reef.
wondering...
in my 95g i have 2 lyretail anthias, 3 blue/green chromis, orange shoulder tang, scooter blenny.
but everytime i add any new fish idk why but they always end up dieing! why is that? water levels are great.
it could be. but im always here and none of them are fighting with the new ones. in my research the anthias and orange shoulder arent territorial. when i added new tangs they didnt fight at all. or bangaii nothin. but i guess i have to put a camera and see. thanks
Its when the lights go out that the madness starts
i got you, thanks
if there all coming from the same source, maybe its the source.. have someone else check your water..

Yes. Your tester could be testing it wrong. Maybe try a different supplier also. Sometimes you might pay more for a fish at a nicer store, but its better to have a quality fish that wont die, then a dead fish. Believe me, i went through alot of dead fish before I just switched suppliers, and haven't had a problem since.
Orrr. What kind of fish are dying? Are they Tangs? Tangs are not very tolerant of electric. You could have Volts in your tanks coming from the powerheads and such. Buy a grounding probe!
good call man
If it is a territory problem, when you add a new fish to the tank try to displace some of the rock work as to disturb the territory that way all the fishs will try to seek new territory instead of defending it, thus allowing the new fish equal oppertunity in the tank.
Yeah, that doesn't really work in my tank. My dominate fish are dominate no matter what i do. I have to take that fish out before i put a new fish in and leave him in time out for 2 weeks. Then when i put him back in he's fine, but still is the dominate one.
