If you want to come pickup some stuff to help you out (5g tank, powerhead, heater, 5g pail of RODI water, and salt)

I will be home around 6:15pm tonight, leaving again at 8:30pm.

You could also call the LFS you got most of your stuff from, and see if they will take any of it for you.

It is hard to say without seeing the tank, any chance of some pics?
no it wasn't the first batch of salt used...it was the second time i used it....
i would love to come over and borow those items if it would be okay....hopefully i can salvage somethings....should i put everything in there?
any chance you could come over...i hate to ask but maybe seeing the tank first hand might give you some clues...
yep i'll snap a few pics right away..,..

You said you dont have a bucket, but you have to have something that would work to transfer your animals.

Large bowls, sandwich bags?

I could fit your stuff in my fuge until you can afford to buy new salt and correct this problem.

You could also try your alk and Ph tests a few more times, try to average the results, and then use the buffers you said you have.

You seem to like editing your posts right after I read them! :)

I can't make it over tonight unfortunately. But you can come between 6:15 and 8:30 for those items, no problem.

Take a few more alk and Ph tests and add the buffers accordingly, and your stuff might pull through, but do it quickly.

TheReefGeek 03-06-2006 09:39 PM
I would use the buffers ASAP.

PM sent with directions.

what did the pictures look like to you?

TheReefGeek 03-06-2006 09:48 PM
Tough to tell what the water looked like, but your coral is definately dieing off quickly, which would be consistant with a rapid change in Ph and/or alkalinity.

Pics look bad, I'm afraid :sad:

Dying/bleaching corals are going to release ammonia, which might explain the fish gasping.

Did you remember to use dechlorinator with last water change? Also, a 50% water change is pretty drastic. Was there a reason you did one so large?

I wish there was something I could do to help figure out what happened to cause such a catastrophe :sad:

I did such a drastic change cause i had a fish die on me and the water went cloudy....so i figured better safe than sorry...that coral bleached when i put the new water on it...as soon as the new mix of water hit it it went white.

It's quite depressing actually to know 4 days ago i had what i thought was a nice little thriving community...cute little gobi...sniff sniff....clowns are hanging on, but they must feel like they are being tortured.
