quarentine tank 20g 4 days ago using my normal 5 stage-ro, which I
replaced first two filters with standard .5 micron from Home depot a
week earlier on. I used the RO on a fresh water and went through a
full 80 galloons before using it again on the salt water. I then added my
corallife salt and waited a few days (last night) to do the 200g water
change.
and beaten up! I couldn't figure it out. I guessed it was a hermit crab
or crab that got hungry judging from the fin looked torn and ripped and
the sailfin body looked all beat up. The fish was still alive and beating
its gills, which looked red inside.
also changed with this RO water the same day! Next day , the fish was
dead.
no additions to this tank for over a month and another larger pacific
sailfin seems to have the same problem! I have put links here for you
(whoever you may be) to inspect the fin and tell me whats wrong with
my fish. You have my theory, but I d like someone elses advice. This
new fish is healthy, but his sail fin is showing signs of something
terrrible. like a rotting of some sort. Please advise on what to do..your
timeliness is appreciated as if it ends up like the last one , the fish wont
make it overnight.

show him healing nicely. Its nice to have a happy fish story now and
then!

waste man. Horrible This occurred 1 day after changing 5 gallons in
the 20g tank. Changed the fish to another 35g tank where is died the
next day. Here is the first wonderful Pacific Sailfin that died.

are happily still chomping the rock.
