So dissolved oxygen was 0 mg/L? Am I reading that correct?

Just a little surprised That after all the water changes you did after the crash, that your O2 levels would still be so low...

I agree with Myka, and that is probably why your test sample read 0 for O2 at the store after all the water changes.

But after thinking about it last night I agree that the cause of the crash was oxygen starvation
