help!

hey everyone. thanks in advance for reading this my livestock was recently wiped out in one go including clowns tangs, dragonette, angel etc ive been atempted to get my aquarium going again- all parameters are perfect and water chages are regular but again a similar thing happened this time wiping out all my snails, crabs and shrimp. i noticed the morning i saw them all dead that there was a clowdiness about the water- could there be some kind of poisonus parasite causing this problem?

What's the temperature like? I ask because I lost 2 chromis and a snail the other day when our temps hit the mid teens F (-8C). Turns out the heater I have in there can't quite keep the water warm enough during the night when it gets that cold here.

Ugh! Sorry to hear about your problems. The first thing I'd do is check your testing stuff. It may be giving you good numbers but not the true numbers. Sounds like ammonia to me. How old is the tank? Have you made any changes to an established system? Have you added any antibiotic meds or any other med? Have you recently added any new rocks or livestock?

Is there any copper in your tank ? Copper fittings ?

Also need water params please, be specific.
temp, pH, salinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, phosphate.
