re meltdown
hey everyone
just thought i would add a good note the clowns appear to be doing fine in my invert tank weird though, when i started adding my tank water to the bag of water they came in to acclimatize, the water became less cloudy and material started to solidify i dunno what this means.. i don't think that salt would start to solidify again.. unless wait..what is ur salt content? maybe ur Hydrometer is out.. how much salt are u putting in per gallon? Shoot..should've tested the water with my refractometer before dumping it? maybe that has something to do with it.. maybe way too salty? i dunno.. Hopefully my salt will work for ya way too weird

 Thanks again neal....mucho mucho thanks On another note my father said he would help me with a new tank purchase later in april so thats some good news...plus i am going to stock up on more essentials before i start....amazing how quick your stock depletes in an emergency...especially that damn prime.... I stirred up the sand bed a HUGE ammount when i did new water....but ammonia only reads just above zero or so....i have all the other water with the liverock in it....best i could do....hopefully this is going to work out...have a feeling those clowns with be with you neal for a good 6 weeks or more hope that is okay...maybe the tank will cycle again/if it has tooo...by the next meet I'm buying the pizza for everyone...most assuredly.

Glad to hear some of your stuff will make it, and you are sticking with the hobby! A few months back I lost all my fish but 1, and 3/4 of my corals due to instant ocean's bad batch of salt, but mine was never cloudy. Most LFS took instant ocean off their shelves for a couple months. Apparantly they changed ownership or something and tried to cut costs, I dont know the whole story, just that I lost couple grand of stuff, and my tank is just starting to come back now. So I know what it feels like.
When you are ready, I have a colt, kenya tree, xenia, and by then maybe some zoos and green star polyps for you to restart your tank with, just PM me.

Bring some of your water in to the LFS and have them test everything for you, they do it for free.
