Let's start with 3 facts:
1. Behind the counter, a sign reads "Tanks be medicated".
2. In my experience to Todd's, roughly 1/3 of tanks will have dead livestocks.
3. After using Todd's RO for approximately 30 days of water top-offs and changes, 2 of my fish (including a stunning Coral Beauty) died this morning following a change out.
3a. All fish have inhabited this tank for 6+ months, eat, swim, and interact without signs or symptoms of disease, fungal infection, or other tank born illness.
3b. The pH of this tank was 8.1 (slightly low, but not threatening) This was tested immediately after finding the livestock dead.
3c. The ammonia, nitrate, and nitrate levels all tested at approximately 0ppm.
3d. All micro nutrient, calcium, and alkalinity levels tested within normal., healthy ranges as well.
3e. Salinity maintained at a stable level of 1.024
This leads me to my hypothesis: Todd's is using inferior water filtration methods, chemically synthesizing R/O, or if they are using a proper system-- have not maintained the filtration system properly, leading to contamination.
One fish's sudden death I can understand. Two? Two immediately following a water change out from Todd's? That I cannot abide.
In case you haven't gathered so far, I love my tank. My water is tested weekly. Change-outs are regularly preformed. It's an 18 month old fixture brimming with corals, fish, and hey--- it's so healthy that the sugar starfish who came in on a piece of liverock have flourished.
I pride myself in care of beautiful sea creatures because hey--- they may not be around that much longer. That being said, I will not be returning to Todd's Tropical Fish to purchase contaminated water or sick livestock: their apparent specialities.
Recommendation: DO NOT BUY LIVESTOCK, SALTWATER, or R/O FROM TODD'S. TROPICAL FISH.
