If there is an actual disease in the water, those current fish may be strong enough to resist it, like an immunity. It's best to quarantine new fish to make sure they are healthy and eating prior to putting them in with your livestock. I would resist any more fish purchases for now and just enjoy your tank for what it is for a month or so. If all goes well, shop for a new healthy-looking fish and put it in QT for a minimum of three weeks to make sure it is active, eating and doesn't display any symptoms of disease / infection. Thereafter, you can acclimate it to your system and introduce it to the other livestock.
I currently have a cardinal, lawnmower blenny, 6 line wrasse and chromis. The only fish that died were the tangs and clown after i added the brown tang. This is the reason i think it was the fish. I had blue tang and two yellow Tangs and added the brown tang. All the other fish are good.
What fish do you have specifically?
My water temp according to my controller ranges from 79 to 81. 81 is when the metal halides go on. I no longer have this fish. All the Tangs have deceased but the yellow Tangs at the end looked pale yellow and have not seen any aggressive behavior.
If the fish are all appearing healthy currently, the water isn't the issue necessarily. Any clue if any of your other fish are aggressive and attacking the newcomer? What about a peak of water temperature each day, and the lowest point at night around 5am? If the daily swing is too great, it can affect fish health and even kill some. What's the discoloration exactly? Got any pictures?
I'd get an MP40w ES for the 72g.
It is a 72 gallon bowfront
What size tank?
I just want to get enough current in the tank without having 5 pumps in the tank. I want to have one device and that's it
Please make sure to select the matching category each time you make a new entry. The choices are listed under the editor box. If you are wanting a wave action in your tank, either will do it. I prefer to not see equipment in my tank, such as powerheads and the big boxes. The Vortech's motor will ramp up and down to make the wave, which you will hear since the sound isn't a constant steady hum. So do you want to see the gear, be audibly aware of a pump, or skip the wave entirely?

Seen both in action, own an MP40W soon to be 2 MP40W. They are INCREDIBLE pumps! Go with the Vortech, you won't be disappointed! !
I'm an mp40 man
