pabloescolar Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just got home from my vacation and my roommate has unintentionally killed most of the fish in my tank. I need to round up 10 - 15 gallons of SW for a substantial water change before anything else goes. Does anyone have any prepared they could sell me? I'm in central Austin.

+KimP Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Oh no, that sucks! I hope you find some. I'm all out. Do you have any Prime or similar to add in the meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabloescolar Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Dosed with Prime and some StartSmart to try and bring the rot in check [emoji818] Also threw in some fresh carbon. Thanks Kim! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabloescolar Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I've never lost a fish before but the speed at which hermits take to the nearly dead is impressive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yikes! Hopefully the prime will hold them over until the morning when you can get some saltwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabloescolar Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Yes sir! Thank you again for coming through to help so late in the evening. The six line wrasse that I was certain was a goner has bounced back, and the clownfish that was looking on the edge is doing fine as well. The two cardinals didn't make it and I'm about to fish out the linkia right now. Now on to the next battle that came with this mess - hair algae.

Dan H Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 You may want to continue to do a few more large water changes. Check your params first and if there are still a bunch of nutrients in the water, just keep doing them every few days until it's back down to a reasonable level.

pabloescolar Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 That's a good point. I'm looking forward to having Thursday off work to dive back in and do some deep cleaning. Very little time to deal with it until then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
