Just some thoughts. I recently found some stray voltage in one of my tanks due to a light fixture,... that didn't even touch the water.
I use a ground probe.

It could be that the oxygen level is already a bit low when the pumps are running so when you cut off the pump this low level of oxygen is depleated fast. I can't think of anything else. Ph is a little low if it was day time with light and aeration so that could be it.

Are they breathing fast?
Temp 78.
PH is ok. It was tested early morning as light were just on. It will rise.
Not breathing fast at all.

I cannot remember... but I believe it was after I turned the pumps back on.

Sixline has now gone into hiding. No chance of recovering him if he dies.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? 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.
