DEAD FISH

[sea gnome]

MY TANK HAS BEEN STRUGGLING, SEE FAILURE TO THRIVE THREAD. YESTERDAY I NOTICED A LEAK FROM THE TANK WHERE ITS DRILLED, THE TREADED GASKET AT THE BOOTOM IS LOOSE. OF COURE TO GET AT IT I HAVE TO EMPTY THE TANK AND LIT IT OFF THE BASE. I DECIDED TO JUST NOT HAVE THE SUMPS RUNNING FOR A WEEK UNTIL FINALS ARE OVER AT UVIC AND I CAN FIX IT.. I WAS GOING TO GO OVER TO VANCOUVER AND GET SOME SALT BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY THING LEFT IT CAN BE. SINCE ITS BEEN HOT I DIDN'T THINK I NEEDED A HEATER IN THE TANK. THIS MORNING THE SEBAE CLOWN IS DEAD, THE CANDY CANE SHRIMP IN ALMOST DEAD AND THE SAILFIN TANG, 3 CHROMIS AND A BLENNY ARE NOT LOOKING GOOD ( THE WATER FELT VERY COLD AND THE THERMOMETER READ 68). I HAVE SINCE BUT 2 HEATERS IN THE TANK AND HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED, IF ANYONE WANT THE FISH, THEY ARE FREE TO A GOOD HOME BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THEM TOMORROW IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE.
