Hey guys I have a tank that I just got done cycling and my roommate forgot to paid the electric bill and now nothing is on the snails and hermit crabs died... what should I do when the electric gets turned on tomorrow? Tank has been off for 3 Days and I don't know what to do?? Helppppp thank you

Are you sure the hermits are dead? I've seen them live in a container of water and rock for weeks

 

[Edudek]

No I'm not sure I haven't seen them

The death of anything that was in there will essentially cause the tank to cycle again, setting you back in time but at least you didn't have more livestock in the tank.

Oh ok I have one of those bubble box's in it now I'm gonna keep going until the electric Is back on thank y l u russel

Hopefully it works

One of the things you can do to help with run away heat is too freeze a couple of bottles of water, keep them on hand in the event of temps swinging way to high. temps get past 82-84 just put them in the tank...good luck

it's back on and it really doesn't look that mad the snails are alive hermits look good to!!

just remove whats dead and proceed . the live rock will clean up any ammonia

I have lots of little air bubbles or particles floating in my tank how do I get rid of it?? I've done water changes

 

[Mikesmith34]

Check your top off make sure it's not running dry. Pump starts pulling in air when it's out of water

 

[Edudek]

It's pass the max line

 

[MounteeFrag]

It is coming from somewhere. Start in your tank and work backwards. Sometimes it's a power head that will such air every now and then

 

[Edudek]

I shut the power head off and it looks a lot better

 

[Edudek]

I just messed with the pump hopefully it will be better
