Three deaths two days

Sadly I have lost my Red Head Wrasse (yesterday) and my Spot breast Angel (today). Nothing visible on the fish to give any indication of what may have caused the deaths. My Atlantic Blue Tang, is now staying in a back corner behind the rocks and not moving much. I first noticed this yesterday when reviewing the tank after finding the angel.

Parameters
Nitrate 4
Phosphates .13
Calcium 445
Alkalinity 8.1
Mag 1250
Ammonia 0

Nothing has been added to the tank in close to a year, and that would have been a coral. No new fish in about 2 years and every fish went through TTM and PraziPro.

Should I consider treating the tank with PraziPro? I also have, in my cabinet, Furan (expired 12/2016) and KanaPlex (expired 6/2017)

Check all your parameters, check your equipment, something may transfer electricity through your water. This fast, usually velvet, so I would quarantine all the fish anyway, and treat it with ick shield for 21 days. Your DT fallow for 72 days. Good luck.

Soo sorry for you and the fish. Sounds like something is definitely off. I would transfer them to a holding tank and/or see if your LFS can host them until you figure out what is going on. Maybe electrical in nature. Any inverts showing stress/death?
