Wow Meowzer! This tank has come a long way. Looks very nice.
But girl, how can you keep up with this many tanks?
LOL.

I lost a horse this morning

I have no clue why....Every morning when I first get up (even thought the tank lights are not on yet) I got in the fish room and check the tanks....something looked odd, so I used the flashlight and saw one of my horses laying in the feeding dish.....it was not breathing :( SO i removed it....NO MARKS or anything....it looked perfect.
When I gave them breakfast....One dove into the bowl as usual, the small one just waited for food..LOL....and the other large one stayed hitched to a colt waiting for the food to come to him I guess.
I do not have time in the mornings before work to do a heck of a lot, so I threw together about 6G's of SW so it might be ready to use tonight if I need it
So all I can do is see what happens when I get home today and then do some tests I guess

Thanks guys....My husband is home today, so I have him checking them for me....so far the other 3 seem to be fine (YAY)
I guess I won't have to worry about them being over crowded now :( Surely 3 will be fine in this tank ....I will NOT be replacing it

Well gave them dinner.....2 are in the dish, and one is still on a colt up top......just waiting for something to come to it I guess

Water tests fine.....I'm gonna wait and do the w/c tomorrow so it mixes for the full 24 hours, and I don't really want to disturb the tank right now
OH....I FINALLY got to see the 2 striped gobies "play" they were out on the sand "skipping"

Sorry for your loss - can you tell, was it the one with the tail problem??
NO, it wasn't. The one with the tail problem is actually the biggest horse....it's very odd...BUT sometimes we get up and a fish is dead....right

someone once said "Sometimes they just die"
I think it was Henry All I can do now is watch the others....I mean they all look fine...so I guess I'll watch for abnormalties....and hope this was just a fluke :(

Yes I suppose I should....maybe tomorrow. We have some bad storms coming through right now, temps are going from the high 90s to the high 60s..the winds have picked up but no rain yet. I'm on the laptop not plugged in....I don't get on the desktop computer in bad weather.
Anyway, my horses are pretty smooth. I don't know if they are turning red with a hint of green or just getting covered in algae. They spend most of their time stiffening up at each other chasing the one little famale.

does it have the ingredents on the package?? I know you can use chemi pur but not the elite because of ferric iron oxide
only use products with Ferric Oxide Hydroxide
