Major Issue with my 125gallon tank :(

I too am glad so many of them made it through.

Your misfortune is a message for us all Chris. We take for granted that things will always be the same when we turn on the spigot for our water. I definantly will pay closer attention to the water bills. If the provider is going to make changes there should be something about it in the letter.

Also, if you have plumbing work done to your supply lines it would be a good idea to skip the water changes for a week or so untill any foriegn material is flushed out of the lines. This would also include waterline work done at the street level. A healthy aquarium should make it through without a problem.

Again, sorry for your loss and thank you for posting.

Something else that can happen -- the fire department flushing the hydrant in front of your house, and not notifying you! Those of you from Madness might remember when I turned on my faucet and this is what came out! Fortunately, I could see that this water was not suitable for water changes or anything else! Just wished they had told us they were going to do it.

i remember looks like a nice glass of brew

lol....thnx for all the help and concern everyone! Betty, i forgot to mention i actually have one juvie flavus and two juvie mbenji blues so thats good! i just saw the list for Atlantis and they have the mbenji blues in but only males so i might order one today.

Chris,

I use stress coat for stress.
In a dire strait I will use it for water changes.

I use Prime for water changes. It has what you need for the strong chemicals they put in tap water these days.
In my opinion Prime and NovAqua Plus are the best on the market.

It is very good and goes farther than stuff like Stress Coat.

I love my well water!!!

G, glad you got it straightened out. Sorry you lost some of your favorites, that sux. It'll be fun getting new fish tho

thnx Roger, i might have to get some prime. I just been using stress coat for soo long didtn think it wud give me problems. yes mike it shud be fun getting new fish but i will miss the ones i lost alot...especially all my wild fish becuase its gonna be hard to get them back

ok well i put my order in for some fish to arrive on monday! Im getting my Elongatus mbenji blue male back (wild) and some Tropheops red fin kakuza (wild) and some Cynotilapia sp. "lion" sanga (wild)....gonna go to some lfs tomorrow and see what else i can find..

Good for you Chris!

ok so i had to hold off on the wild fish becuase they didnt have all of what i wanted soo new order is coming on wednesday...got Metriclima sp. zebra long pelvic wild, Tropheops sp. gracilior Mazinzi reef wild and my Mbenji Blue male....also went to the lfs yesterday and got 5 juvie Placidochromis...still unsure of what species as they were sold to me Placido. electra yellow...my guess is Placidochromis sp. electra superior....i see some hints of yellow and their fins are black...

That's great, Chris. I'm glad that you are building back up and getting some nice new fish.
