I recently had a disaster with my tank. Almost lost all the water. I am now slowly filling it back with good RO water. It is about 1/2 way filled now. The problem is that my snowflake eel is staying at the top of the water line and looks to be gasping for air? It has never done this before. It...

In my last post I was dripping kalk. The first night I mixed 2 gallons of r/o water with 2 teaspoons of kalkwasser. That night all the kalk settled to the bottom of the mixture and was pumped into my tank. It killed all my shrooms and burned my featherdusters! The next day/night I raised my...
