Even if we rushed the tanks over a year and a half ago, would it not have cycled by now? Also, we seeded it from a mature tank. We thought that would help. But hey, no problem not doing a water change. My hubby won't mind a break.
Anyhoo, the girls are not allowed in here when I am not. Between the tank and my computer, all would be lost if I let the little rugrats in here. Once I found Cherrios and Kix floating in my FW tank. I about had a cow. But we do have a 55 gal tank in the livingroom and they don't touch it...anymore.. although my 1 year old thinks the salt crrep on the sides tastes good! I have since told the hubby to keep that clean.
I will show my hubby your post here about how to check the voltage thing. Sounds like a lot of fun checking that!
Also, living in Wisconsin, there aren't many places to go here. We have a national pet store chain 20 miles south of us, and they only think they know anything. Actually they know nothing. The tanks are not well kept up and fish are always looking stressed. So we don't go there too often. There's a little "hole-in-the-wall" place in that same town, but one of the owners is kind of grumpy and their tanks do not look very clean.
Where we usually go, about an hour north of us, has excellent corals and fish, both salt and fressh. Always look healthy and meticulously clean. Not to mention, their advice has not actually been wrong. Oh, and prices are very reasonable. But because our problem is such a mystery, she advised we check message boards, wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. If we can't figure out what is going on, our last resort is to ditch everything and buy everything, and I mean everything, new. I really don't want to go there. This stuff doesn't come cheap and we have another baby on the way. Looking at my corals used to calm me after hectic days and I miis it very much. But what good is the tank if everything we put in it dies?
Bummer.
