*sniff sniff* WAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

one of my horses....the one thats always been the lazy one.....has officially passed on to the ocean in the sky this morning. i have no idea why salinity is at 1.024 and i'm just about to test the water for everything else. for some reasn my eelgrass is 'slumping' aswell. i wonder if the recent algae problem is having anything to do with this? (hair algae)

i turned around from my computer and saw a seahorse just laying on it's side...i was hoping it still had some life in him...it looked like something had eatin some skin off near his neck, i wonder if my conch or something nibbled at him

this is as bad as loosing a dog
EDIT:
PH - 8.4
Nitrate - 10
Nitrite - 0
Ammonia - 0
i don't know whats wrong?
tomorrow i may be going to get another horse unless something goes wrong, i'm gonna take some water and see if they can test stuff i can't and find out what went wrong. If the water is fine what do i do? get another horse? i don't want my only one to be extremely lonely. And she seems to be fine and active. could it have been that one just wasn't healthy from the start? she was never as active as the other.

I'm so sorry Zeke. Please, hold off getting another seahorse, until you can figure out what caused this seahorse's death. Please give me your input in this thread:

There has got to be something we are missing. Our horses have been dropping like flies.

last night after i did the first water change i noticed the horse moving even less then usual.

she didn't make it through the night.

the lfs guy calibrated my hydrometer and stuff an d i'm gonna do the second change tonight. this weekend or next week i'm gonna buy lots of snails to finish off whats left of the algae and keep it down and get new horses if the water stays fine.
this is so stressful

tank already looks better with the filter and water changes. i feel so much better knowing it's not too big of a problem as i originally thought. I'm gonna check the water tomorrow and hopefully everything is good. Maby this weekend or next week i can get new ones. the ones at the LFS atm are bigger then what i had. but they all look like girls as well, which i guess that is good, i don't have room for babies, unless they can grow in a 10g?
algae stopped growing so fast, it's not really dying off but it's not growing fast. i'm gonna get a variety of snails when i get the horses as well.
