I am sorry to hear that Jason... I guess we have narrowed it down to the change in salt at least....

Different salts have different levels of parameters not to mention all the different levels of trace elements... I would do a mix of 25(new)-75(old) for a week and then go 50-50 and the 75-25....

What a bummer bro!

ya, my last waterchange was 50/50 though. but i guess ontop of the change in water. lostanime's post on mixing your salt because of higher and lower concentration of elements added to it...

also... go figure, of course... my heater failed on me yesterday.. woke up yesturday and tank was 73.8 I guess when things go wrong they need to go terrible. well im down 100$ this week in livestock. not terrible, but too much than i can afford. lol.

When it rains... it pours! Nothing that a little TLC can't fix... oh and $$$$

Know the feeling... hadn't lost fish in nearly a year until the last month, and then xmas even we had a mandarin jump out, and new years we had a 8" blonde naso ($180) die from a blockage and an hour later we lost a hybrid nox dwarf ($85) we just added to the tank... we wont be able to replace them for quite a while

Sorry to hear about your losses man...

TLC... ya thats it... alcohol is more up my ally. cant wait till next Friday and im 21! then im finally legal!!!!! for now ill sit here and drink my beverage of choice. and Saturday is monster jam, nothing loud monster trucks running stuff over cant fix. so ill get over it. still sucks. and drs has mandarins on sale for 9$ go figure...

thanks brad and lostanime, it happens to everyone i guess. my uncle just lost ALLL of fish but some chromis, due to his buddy holding his fish for him while he set up a new tank in his new house, and one of his buddies fish got a disease and his fish died also. i know there are some crazy horror stories out there. so i guess i just gotta hold my head up, and ill maybe to try to add stuff again in a month.
