Pomacentrids like Chromis are usually pretty hardy, but can still fall victim to water pollutants. That's the only thing I can think of. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Also, IMO your dkh is a little low....I would prefer to see it around 10 dkh myself. Other than that and the tiny bit of nitrite everything else looks fine. IMO do a water change and test again
