Alfredshouse is gone.....
I woke up this morning to find all my fish dead. Shrimps dead. Urchin dead. All the fish I just bought dead. Alfred, my favourite Yellow Tang dead. Starting testing my water and found my nitrate had a huge spike in it. I blame this on my FX5, I should of had a sump, which Im building right now. Im devastated. Please dont tell me what a moron I am, Ive already figured this out. Im hoping all my corals dont die. can I change my screen name to nobodyshouse?
I lost: Yellow tang Clown Tang Other Tang 2 fire shrimp 2 cleaner shrimp 3 damsels Foxface Cleaner Wrasse Mosiac Wrasse Lemon Wrasse 2 Dartfish 2 Gudgeon Spiny Urchin Mated pair Blue Line Cinnamon Clowns other Gobies and various other creatures Last edited by alfredshouse; 03-16-2009 at 10:14 PM.

So sorry to hear. Although I think the overwhelming majority of people would prefer a sump, there are some pretty nice little systems out there running on FX5's so I hope you don't blame yourself too much.

Alfredshouse is on the mend.
SG 1.024
PH 7.8 NO2 0 NO3 20 O2 5+ This is from opening the lids, adding two bubble wands, pointing the koralia 4 toward the surface and other koralia lower, still have the FX5 going, and sump will be finished thursday. I expect the parameters to just get better now. I will test my tanks for O2 levels from now on and never make this mistake again! Just other mistakes!!! I have to have a sense of humor after all this. |

You don't need the bubble wands. They'll only cause unwanted salt creep.
