As some of yall know my sand was killing all my fish when it got all cloudy. Well I went out to buy sand, and it turns out it was the same crap, so after fillining up the tank again, I had to drain out all 55 gallons again and take out the sand, that was twice yesturday, so I decide to leave it bear bottemed. I fill it up with water that is the same temp, and some from the old tank, all the same decor and all, anbd my water doesnt have chlorine or any other heavy metals, but I put in some stress coat that dechlorinates anyways.
I let my filter run so the tank should be all cycled. Well when I add my fish, chaos!
All of my barbs, and 3 minnows died! My lovely long finneded barbs cost alot, and were so nice, Im sad theyre gone! The betta is the only fish that didnt have any issues.
I'm shocked that the angels and panda corries are still alive though. So now I have to go and buy gravel, as there are no pool stores to buy pool filter sand. Thats going to cost and arm and a leg.
After everything that has gone wrong, this just makes it sux even more

It's really irritating when fish die for no apparent reason. I just had a dwarf platy die the other day. No signs of disease or anything. He was doing amazingly well and then he just kicked the bucket. 
I know it's hard, but keep going! Fish keeping is too awesome to give up. (...and too addicting.
