| So sorry to hear about your loss. I can actually tell you that I know what your going through. I lost all of my fish.. Powder Blue, then 3 days later Black Percula, followed by 2 more Clowns, Coral Beauty not too far after, then on the last day ... the saddest .. my beloved Lawnmower Blenny. He actually would swim up and 'perch' in my hand whenever I had my hand in the tank. The Ich, along with a fritzy heater, and temp flucts were the cause of all of my fish dying. I have been treating my tank.. still have the corals and the inverts, and after I feel sure the threat is gone.. replaced the heater ect. I will be adding back slowly. I did invest in a Q.Tank.. If you don't have one yet I would recommend it. Hope this helped in some way.. We learn from the failures and hopefully will not have a drastic loss like this again. Best of luck to you!! |

| Nah, I'd probably get too much flak from some of the punks on this site, because all the materials were free and what I had lying around in my garage, vs. spending $12.
It was easy. Here's the build list:
6 feet of 14 gauge wire
12 inch long, 1/16" diameter, stainless steel welding wire
crimp connector (wire to rod)
O-connector (wire to outlet ground)
Heat shrink tubing
Sorry for getting off topic.
BM if you want, I'll make you one and we'll consider it a baby shower gift. |

| So sorry to hear. Could something have got in the water? such as an aerosol or something? Just another thought. |
