I haven't added anything. I don't think it's any sort of "bug" or it would only be affecting the fish, right? Plus I don't see any spots or such. Just looks like everything is dying.

Don't know how old the main mH light is. The two actinics are brand new. Think that it's maybe because I need to get a new mH bulb?

And yes, been doing water changes.

Pink skunk eggs?

Anyone have a picture of pink skunk eggs? Mine are definitely pre-spawning. Plus, the female has a swollen stomach.

Please post any pics you have. I'm curious what I should be looking for.
