I did rebuild the old workhorse fx-stp pump. All of the rubber suspension bushings had deteriorated and I broke the tensioner off with a combination of my mama bear hands and dad strength. I think it looks better than the old zip ties and axle bearing seal spring.

looks like a great fix!
 
You cheated! You put it on a build I wasn't following! That was a dirty handed trick, sir! :squinting-face-with-tongue:

To whoever's build this is, the error of my not following has now been rectified ;)
You have been forgiven.

Dead fish pics below... you have been warned.

Well, I lost two fish today. We will see who is still left in the morning. I tried to get everyone else out but I can't catch them.

I noticed that Nemo was not acting normally (slow, lathatgic) so I started getting ready to transfer it to a hospital tank.

I had literally just broke down the last "extra" tank that I had going in the basement. So I needed to heat the water first.

IDK if it would have made a difference Nemo was dead and then Neon my Atlantic Blue Tang was gone shortly after.

I have no idea what caused this. One fish I could deal with but two makes me say something caused this issue.

Neither of them were showing any signs of illness. A few hours ago I would have said that they were in great health.

I can assure you that the little specs/bumps are just sand grains from me collecting them out of the display.

I'll update In the morning if there are any more surprises.
oh no! Did you lose more? Figure out what happened? So sorry
