I started using the excel to stop a hair algae problem, which it has done quite nicely. I just can't think of anything else that could cause a problem.

O.k. so I gave the tank a 50% water change and left things to settle down for a few days without adding any ferts. 3 days without a death decided to stat adding Excel again so added 5 ml into 250 litres of water. Next day 2 Angelfish dead and a few cardinals. I have no idea what is happening !!!
