While I am writing I am watching my fish die!!!
I don't have any idea of what just happened!
I have a 28 galloon hex with 30 pounds of live rock and 3 inches of live sand. 6 Damsels (well 2 now!) 7 turbo snails, 5 teeny tiny snails.
I have been cycling for a month now and everything looked great!
Crystal clear water and very happy active damsels this morning.
At 2:00 this afternoon I took a water sample to my lfs and they tested it said no more amonia and that everything had cycled. They had 4 nice hermit crabs in a beautiful tank so brought them home and added them to my tank. Within an hour the tank started to get very cloudy. I had to go out for a bit and when I came home 4 of my damsels are dead and it is super cloudy!! I think the turbos are somewhat ok and 2 damsels are suffering. I took water ran back to my lfs they tested it and said it was still ok!! They said to move my power head to the surface to get more air in and I purchased two air stones and have that pumping in. WHAT HAPPENED???
In less than 2 hours my beautiful tank TANKED!! I am so upset??
ANY idea of what happend?? PLEASE HELP!! (2 dead turbos now)
