LoudBimmer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Today everything in my 10g fish tank died, do to me breaking some kind of ammonia pocket or bubble that was in the sand. I went to my local fish store and they told me to replace water to save rocks. As of right now, i only have about 5-7 pounds of live rock, fresh salt water and MAYBE 1 coral that survived. No sand, i took it all out. Otherwise, my clown fish and about 5-6 corals died. What to do next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudBimmer Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I had about 1.5 inch of sand. Right now I took all of the water out, and replaced it with fresh salt water from the store. So now all I have are rocks and fresh water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 The sand is there for your biological filter. You want it. There are people who run bare bottom but re sand does serve a purpose. Don't stir up your sand either. Get some critters that'll do it Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
