Help! Possible tank crash!?!

[linda lee]

cleaner shrimp... are you 100% sure you didn't find a molt?

 

[jetchris]

Sorry to hear about your stress, i hope it works out

 

[jgoal55]

glad to hear everything is ok....i was starting to think o funny jokes to tell you to make you feel better.

curiosity question: is this where ORP measurements come into play?

good ending............

I'm still gonna do another 20% WC tomorrow morning--Saltwater Junky 's sapposed to come by and help me a little bit--everything should be in check-I just need to set that sump up so it can help oxygenate the water.

 

[ralph atl]

a sump will definitely oxygenate your water! great plan!

 

[ericmcj31]

yeah-I've been pretty lazy with it here lately-I've had plenty of tme, but not doing it.

 

[ralph atl]

**it happens! At least you have incentive now!
Just a thought, I find the more work I do (maintainance) up front & the more I am "on top" of everything, the less TIME have have to devote to my tank. It took a while to get there, but it is now worth it.

 

[ericmcj31]

yeah-other than the corralline growing on my glass, my tank looks great--I'm gonna scrape it off maybe today.

Always keep one of your powerheads pointed toward the surface of the water to break the surface and circulate new air into the tank. I have always done this and have never had O2 problems. If the surface isn't broken just a little than once the O2 is used in the tank by the coral and fish, the livestock is breathing depleted O2 without any replenishment.

Glad all the fish made it. That was a good recovery.

 

[ericmcj31]

yeah-I'm gonna do another good size WC today or tomorrow-just to be safe; yeah-I got out pretty fortunately with only losing the cleaner shrimp-there is a lesson to be learned here.

I'm glad I could help out. I'm even gladder that your fish are alright!
