my gf cooked our fish!-!!!

well, she couldn't figure out what it was till i asked her to check the temp... it was at 88!!!!!!! our clown that we had almost 4 yrs is dead.... the hawian puffer may be next, she just turned the AC on....... what a waste!!!!!!! she left it off the entire day...... time to start over..

:scared:

my temp is around 88, usually less, more like 84 all the time...
i have had no problems
we need a knock on wood smilie

Did it raise fast?? 88 shouldn't kill anything unless maybe it went up quickly.

Ya, my tank is between 83-86 degrees (I have to build a new hood so that my new superstrong light isn't so close to the water), but it hasn't caused anything to die.

mine is usually 78-80, this happened in the matter of a day... i checked all levels......ALL
and there is only like 10 if that of nitrates...
temps back to normal.... my puffer is dying and has ick cause of this.... if he dies how long till the ick dies? when would it be safe to add fish?

would wait one month for the ick to die with no fish in there of corse

I also belive that with a fast rise in the temp and not enough surface agitation could build up way to much co2 and caused the fish to die

dam, very good thought.............. cause we do have little water movement at the top.... 2 maxi jet 900's are also on the way.....
thanx for the help
