![]() Just read this thread and my first instinct tells me that your puffer did this. How did it's body look when you noticed this disaster?

![]() Me too. Unless there is something obvious with the source water or accidental poisoning with household cleaners, I would really consider the puffer as a possible cause.

![]() i donno about puffers but I know that boxfish are quite poisonous for inhabitants and owners alike when stressed or when they die, so jsut take that into consideration.

![]() Another vote for the puffer as the culprit.
A 1/3 water change is not a huge amount by any means. |

![]() Seconded.
33% is not alot when you take into account the water that's displaced by all the LR as well. |

![]() I'm sorry to hear about your tank. I had problems with ph 'swing' and ammonia readings in my first tank (29gal nano). They said it couldn't be done but I killed two false percs... testing your tap water with the kits may give you an unexpected answer to your problem. I found out that edmonton water has a fair amount of ammonia reading and somewhat low ph. After mixing water I found that some of the dosing (ph buffer and prime) was not enough. I've had much better success since I started testing my water change water. How much prime is too much? The bottle says 5ml per 50 gal but I use about 7-8ml per 25 gal.
