I had a tank crash a couple weeks ago and lost a bunch of fish

what caused the crash?

 

[Leaellynasaura]

I shut off the return pump every night leaving only 2 power heads active in the display tank overnight. I made the mistake of adding a larger than normal vinegar dose that afternoon. The bacteria in the display tank consumed all the oxygen over night and killed all but a few fish. The reason I shut off the pump is I can't sleep with the noise level.

 

[count krunk]

should be possible to quiet that drain/pump down some.

what have you tried already?

 

[Leaellynasaura]

Still going...

Wish I could keep fish alive.

 

[Leaellynasaura]

Neglected, but alive...

 

[Leaellynasaura]

My tank is very sad due to months of no maintenance, but it still exists!

I only have one fish left, the maroon gold stripe clown fish.

Don't give up! It's not easy but a few hours can make a huge difference! =)
