did you ever test your water?

My water was ok. No ammonia or nitrite. Nitrate didn't seem too high either and I doubt that all changed in one night. For me it wasn't the water.

well things happen and I will move on and get more fish I just wish I had some answers on why it had to happen and why they could not be saved.

The fact that you moved everything into the bathtub really stikes me as well. Unless it was brand new it will be covered in soap scum and other chemical residues that will certainly kill everything.

In the end, I think you may find that it was a series of unfortunate events.. which is the case most of the time. Something relatively small and benign happens to/in the tank, which leads to something else.. then another thing.. (think domino), next thing you know it is out of control and poof, tank has crashed

Then looking back it is hard to trace it down to any one thing because it was a whole slew of things.

For what it is worth, it happens to the best of us..
