Update... I had a new plug ran just for the tank, I also added a better pump for more air flow, my fish seemed happier so this leads me to believe that 30 v of stray voltage was killing my fish, I still have the two tangent the eel and a tester fish, I added a pink spotted benny and she is doing...

oh and for the bleach, I don't use bleach in my tanks, nor any kind of soap, I know that none of that is good for any fish!

sorry I haven't been online today, I've been testing my water and trying to fix my problem, after doing the test for stray voltage I have found that when my tank is plugged into the outlet under the tank I have 30 voltage in my water, I plugged the tank into another outlet that I know has a good...

oh and bleach don't leave a residue it don't affect the fish, if it is rinsed out good, but no the tank was new! I'll keep all of you updated on my progress, but right now, I'm so upset I can just cry, oh wait I have cried over this, what a learning experience this has been!!!!

guess I should of check for voltage first huh, maybe if I had the tank running off that plug I'd still have the dogface puffer and the other fish!

it's moving pretty good.. I got a really good pump to pump up to 300 gallons so the movement is good! still leaning towards the voltage, I was told by direct tv I had no ground in my house, they installed a outlet for my satalight because I kept getting power surge's and the satalight would burn...

well I'm doing a voltage test now, I already took the water to a LFS water is excellent they said, all I had in the tank was 2 tangs a goby, dogface puffer, flounder and eel, the new fish all died within 3 days, the puffer lasted 4 days, I only have the tangs now and the eel, they were what I...

well I think it might be a voltage leak, it just seem odd that they die after 3 days, I did move what I could catch to the 46 gallon for now, I'm going to do a voltage test next, I already took my water to the LFS and everything tested great! they said my water was excellent so it has to be the...

yeah well the Dogface puffer died today, I have a bad feeling I might have some stray voltage in my tank, it seems like everything dies within 3 days of putting a fish in my tank, so I'm going to do a test on the voltage today! I posted some pics of my tank so you can see how big it is and I...

sorry I'm so upset, my typing and my mind is going in different directions, I had a 125 gallon built into the wall, I acclimated my fish for a hour before adding them to the tank, and I did not use a net or use the FS water.

no I had a 46 gallon, now I have a 125 gallon, I only had 3 tangs at one time!

Hi everyone, I'm so baffled I can't think straight... I'm ready to give up and throw in the towel, the only problem is my fish tank is build into my main wall, so in short I need some advice. First off, I had a 46 gallon bow front tank, I had this tank for over a year and had very good luck...

yeah I have found that out! after putting the ich meds in the ich grew rapidly all over my Dogface Puffer, seems like he is the only one that has it, no signs on any other fish, but I'm sure they will have it too, so I will continue the treatment as the bottle instructed, I just hope the...

okay, my dfp is no longer in love with the overflow box, seems like he was just getting used to the tank, I have purchased him some clams and fresh shrimp, he did nipple on the ship and I just put the clam in to see if he would like it, but now I have another problem hmmm puffers seem to be...

okay, he has came off the overflow box, now all he does is sleep, he swims around a little nibbles a little on fresh shrimp then goes back to hide in the rock, and sleep, he doesn't seem very active, I hope he's okay, I thought dfp were active fish, was I wrong?

oh one more thing, I was wondering is it okay to pet then on the head, he seems to like to come to the surface and stick his head out a little.... I want to pet his head soooo bad! lol

Yeah I have been reading up on them a a lot, the tank is all set up for him, salinity temp, ect. I have a 125 gallon built into a wall, you can see through the tank from the living room to the kitchen, so he is going to get a tone of attention. I will say he has a big personality... he finally...

well last night he got off of the overflow box and found a spot in the rocks, this morning he was up swimming around, I've had him for about 4 days now and he has been eating good, I was feeding him live brine and krill... today I'm getting him fresh shrimp and scallops.

thanks everyone, I'm getting him shrimp today and scallops.

he sleeps stuck to the overflow, he fell in love with it and that's his favorite spot lol he comes off to eat and swim around a little but right back to the overflow he goes. He is not sick, shows no signs of stress, he has good color and looks fine, guess he just likes the current of the water...
