I came home tonight to find my pair of pink skunks dead. The heater is fine. Levels are fine. No electric current. I cleaned the tank this last weekend, but I didn't use anything on the tank, not even vinegar. Just so upset.

Where did you get them from and how long have you had them?

That is strange.  Sudden loss with no visible signs always makes me think a contaminant or lack of oxygen.

It's got to be a contaminate. I cleaned the tank in the tub that I clean everything in. I used the same scrubber I use for everything. I rinse then dry the scrubber each time.
 
I did add sand to the tank. It was well rinsed and didn't create any clouding. Other than that I scraped off aptasia. I'm leaning now towards the sand.....
