So when would I be safe to start getting new fish. Also I have a goby that came put today when I put a few sinking pellets in for him and ate just fine. Should I try getting him out and quarantining him for a bit?Hiding is a sign of disease. Coral beauties arent the type of fish to hide imo.
Also 2 -3 weeks is about the length of time I start expecting disease to manifest unless it's velvet.

I'd also like to add, since you have coral and other inverts. If you do raise the temp to 81, make sure you aerate well. It gets harder to breath in those higher temps. Personally, I'd just leave it lower temp and do a longer QTThe disease will remain as long as the goby is there. You would need to QT the goby and treat him and let the tank go fallow 45 days at 81 degrees if you want to eradicate disease.
Unless you QT future fish, you could end up in the same position.
45 days is best case scenario at perfect everything. Doesn't leave a lot of room for error.The disease will remain as long as the goby is there. You would need to QT the goby and treat him and let the tank go fallow 45 days at 81 degrees if you want to eradicate disease.

OP, overfeeding didn't kill your fish. Adding a sick fish did.
I agree, I used to as well. Doesn't mean what I'm saying isn't true. I didn't say it was a problem, I said make sure you have good water movement.I did 81 degrees for 45 days on both tanks. I don't believe there is any issue with higher temps and most commonly kept coral. Some people actually run their tanks that warm. Mine is 80-82 in summer. Just bring it up over a few days.
No 1.026Sorry, did you mean to say a salinity of 1.26?!?
Ich cor starters doesn’t kill, second ich doesn’t kill corals. Most likely too much in a new tank. Levels, ie, parameters don’t mean much when an immature system is highly stocked too quickly. There is much more to a reef tank then “good levels.”I'm betting something like ICH. Or even flukes since you didn't notice anything wrong.
There is a difference in having a conversation and trying to be a jerk.Alright lets go since you got the attitude I enjoy.
Ich for starters does kill, and I bet anyone here would shoot down that piece of misinformation.
Second, everyone knows ICH doesn't affect corals, but hey guess what? Nitrates do. And guess what, her's was high. Guess what else? Where does Nitrates come from? Ammonia, and what happens when something dies in your tank? Answer. It releases ammonia.
I had my nitrate over 200 and the fish were fineSo being new to saltwater fish keeping i have done a ton of research. Things were going amazingly well. I had a goby, 2 clowns, a mccosker wrasse, 3 pajama cardinals, and a coral beauty and several varieties of coral. Well 2 weeks ago I started a new job and missed a water change due to being away for training. Family was home but didn't do one they only fed them. My first day back I found my wrasse dead. So I pulled him and did some testing nitrates were quite high so I immediately did a water change of 25% and another 25% the next day. Sadly the next day my pajamas and coral were gone and now today my clowns are gone. All I have left is my goby and a cleaner shrimp and some snails. Any ideas where to go from here to recover this tank and start again? Should I drain the water and do a new start of cycling and all?
Naw naw. Your "for starters" sure made it a healthy conversation.There is a difference in having a conversation and trying to be a jerk.
Ick doesn't kill in days, nitrates are not poison.
