U aren't using ozone in your skimmer, are you? mike.
PS Sal****er fish are not all that delicate as the 'authorities claim. In my
opinion, any marine aquarium fish which survives the wild collection
experience and makes it to the local dealer, and is eating and appears okay,
MUST have a fairly sturdy constitution. Yesterday, I scrubbed the walls of
the tank and stirred up the gravel ( with all fishes in the tank)and then
drained fifteen gallons of my 92 gallon tank out, and replaced it with ten
gallons of distilled and five gallons of tap water, not dechlorinated, and
the fish are looking fine today I also add the salt and mix it right in the
aquarium with the fishes present. I say again, in my opinion, most
sal****er aquarium fishes are fairly sturdy animals. the only time I have
lost any fish was when I had a problem with ich a few months back, and as
soon as I treated the tank, all remaining fishes quickly grew healthy again.
I would advise you to get someone( someone who has a demonstrated ability to
keep sal****er fish healthy in an aquarium) over to your location and let
them see exactly what goes on in your aquarium , and see if they have any
suggestions.

Update: I've left the lights out on the tank since adding the clownfish,
and
revitalizing the dottyback I checked on it tonight, the clowns are doing
well, still getting used to the tank size and currents; and the dottyback
is
hiding in a piece of barnacle, apparently still very shocked , but alive.

The important thing is they are all still alive.

As far as the skimmer goes, I think its time to take it appart and do some
maintenence, its not quite working up to par, thanks for the suggestion.

Water changes are bi- to tri-weekly, but i am moving it up to smaller once
a
week changes. Like a gallon or so a week. And once I can convice my wife
to
let me make another investment in the tank, I will get an RO unit. Right
now
I am using well water from the tap.
