Well how am I supposed to know you guys are all about "save the fish" not eat them?

Ps = I didn't use any soap what so ever. And I just checked on my grouper hes smashing his face in the live rock/sand aggresively, and my eel is not shaking anymore which is a good sign

We went to the store got a 5 gallon bucket filled with 1/4 fresh water and 3/4 salt water (the salinity was off in the tank) and they said pour it in the tank slowly. That is what I did. And as far as cleaning the filter, I used a high power hose and got all the algae off of it.

The water change is the reason everything went bad. The LFS we have been going to sold us a bad batch of water. The ammonia is at 0.25, the pH is at 8.2, Nitrite is at 0. And the amquel I bought treats ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, chlorine and chloramines.

Once again my nitrate level is at 160 ppm. My miniatus grouper is losing his color and laying on the ground like hes having a hard time breathing and my snowflake eel is having minor convulsions. I don't know what to do?!?! I have no quarantine tank available for them at the moment. And I don't...

UPDATE: The miniatus is doing MUCH better. Him and the snowflake eel nearly died the other day, we had a bad algae bloom, and to add to that the LFS sold us a bad batch of saltwater. The Nitrate level was at 120 and everything was just bad, everything is better now, ph, ammonia, and nitrite, and...

I decided to take off the Mombasa lion (and the blue puffer, after hearing it isn't good with Lions either) Panther, miniatus grouper and snowflake eel is what I have now.

We bought the Panther Grouper today. He is currently in a 10 gallon quarantine tank to not stress out the grouper anymore or have him be eaten by the miniatus. We will be getting a 125 gallon this June

List updated. Picasso trigger, Blue spotted stingray removed from "want" list, panther grouper added to "own" list

The circulation is GREAT on the tank.

Well what I did to acclimate him was I got a bag and dipped it in the water after an hour I went to the back yard, drained all the water out of the bag, and ran back to my tank with the grouper in the bag with no water and gently shook the bag and he swam out. I have a hunch this is it. I'm...

Can somebody please help because I don't like the look of his eye!!!
