so I walk into my bedroom today and everything in the tank is dead
i dont know what happened
i have a 30g, its been set up for about a year and a half. with no casualties ( besides some pepperment shrimp that were eatin by the cardinal)
with
2 clowns
2 damsels (i really lucked out with these two they were so friendly)
a banggi cardinal
cleaner shrimp
my manitinace has been lacking past couple of months, last time i cleaned the tank was 3 weeks ago( but in the past it has gone longer). the problem is my parents are seperated so i spend one week at dads, on at moms with the fish. She feeds them and occasionally when its really dirty will clean the tank. My tank is covered in hair algea and i noticed a tiny bit of cyno on the sand today.
first thing i did was my nitrates levals ( the only testing kit i have remaning) they were at 0
the most alarming thing about the tank is everything died! worms crawled to the surface to die crabs that i didnt even knew existed were dead on top of rocks! the creepiest thing was a two foot long bobbit worm( at least i think it is a bobbit worm) wraped dead around a rock. all the fish are coated in a white silky (looking) substance.
there are only two living things in the tank ( that i see), a hermit crab that was out of its shell, its has now crawled back into its shell, and a snail ( one of those ones that wait in the sand) crawling up the side of the tank ( as if trying to escape)
what frustrates me the most is i dont know what i did wrong, it happened so sudden.
i think it might be eletrical, because evrything is dead. What else could kill everything in my tank?
