Michika's 28g long nano-esque tank!

Just my two cents, but in a tank that is smaller like that, no doubt when one acro goes it can trigger the others. The living inverts indicate its not heavy metals or the silicone as you've already ticked off on your list.

How was the temperature swing during the move? Did everything get a long acclimation? My experience shows that acros don't like big swings in temp (lost half a tank that way). Also clams don't like acro deaths in a big tank or the other way around as well (I've experienced both of those too).

If I were you I'd get those clams out of there to someone elses tank, preferably a tank with nothing else in it (I hear Tony has an empty tank ). Its better than nothing. Then run carbon in a canister filter/phosban reactor or something and change it out every 3-4 days or so and do lots of water changes.

Hope you get this licked, its bad enough having to move a tank but to have major losses as well, that just sucks

I'm in the process of making arrangements for the clams. I think it would be the second to last straw if they went, last straw being my fish.

There wasn't a lot of a temperature swing. When I put everything in the display, the old rock, old water, etc. I had a reading of 74-75. I brought the tempterature back up to 78 over the course of I think 4-5ish hours (I went to bed at 2am).

I'll keep going as I am then, water changes, rotating media, etc.

Thank you everyone for your input!

I just cleaned my glass for the third time today...its time to reduce the photoperiod in my tank...and start wishing this thing ends quickly.
