    New tank and major loss of fish.

    Before we begin: All water parameters are within a good range. We’ve been testing the water daily, and the temp is 75-78. Ok! So we have two 20gallons and with our recent decision to move, we decided to consolidate to a 40. We set up the 40, treated the water, put the filter in, let it...

    Left my light on

    I have a 55 gallon freshwater planted aquarium in my high school classroom. We added a heater last week because the tank was getting too cold with the hvac being set to turn off when school is not in session. I guess one of us bumped the timer on the lights b/c the lights were on all day...
