FISH DYING AND BREATHING HEAVY
So on another thread i was reading about some one who had added new powerheads and his fish started dying, same thing has happened to me when I added 2 new powerheads, all parameters are fine so I thought it was just a bit of sediment that the powerheads had stirred up because there was a bit of a film on the top of the water. But in the thread some one said that there is a harmful coating on some powerheads and I should run them in vinegar and water, I'll do that but in the mean time can I set up my new skimmer without there being a coating problem??!! HELP PLEASE!!
I have done about a 40% water change since all this started. |

Whats your temperature, power heads increase the temperature.

Temp is 78 and was the whole time the powerheads were in there, I took the powerheads out yesterday.

what type of powerhead is it? could there be some electrical leak into the water?
If they are made for aquarium, they should not have any dangerous coating, at least I hope! I use koralia and never even washed them prior to putting them in the aquarium. |

These are brand new koralia 750gph

If the new powerheads are stirring up the sand, it could be releasing toxins that were trapped under the sand.

I run 5 Koralias in two tanks. Never heard of a coating issue. With any brand for that matter.
Good luck.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

Well, your salinity is too low.
