Thanks been at it for about 15 years now. I did break down the 10G AIO water box for now. I do believe an ammonia spike for sure. I changed out quite a bit of water afterwards. My tank bigger tank is the Redsea E260.

The odd thing was most my favorite fish lived besides the clowns. Lost 3 Chromis 3 pajama cardinal all 5 years old. 2 clowns and a random goby I had in a 10g. So 9 total. I had an air stone with a battery bubbler going mostly the whole time, the cobalt aquatics one. The fish that lived were an Orchid Dotty, Coral Beauty, yellow Coris, and my new Midas blenny just got from cuttlefish. The aptasia survived in the cold, go figure. The cold water destroyed my mushrooms and made the tank go cloudy pretty quickly. I found out quick that most my heaters were trash, so I’ll be getting a few new Eheims. Now just need to go back up to Portland and goto cuttlefish and get a few new things here eventually.

Lesson learned. My tank got down to 60 degrees in 24 hours. Lost 8 of 12 fish and most my coral besides a Duncan. The sea urchins lost all their spikes but are alive.

Pictures from Springfield on Sunday.

Yes I got some power yesterday evening and then it’s been off and on today. Im out in thurston. I have a generator and my 60g up and running. If you need anything let me know. I’ve noticed my mushroom corals don’t like the cold and all my clownfish died.

I’m down power out here in Springfield Ore,going on 36 hours. Got lucky got a little generator today get the tank warmed up some. Lost a Blue Chromis so far I had for 5 years.

I use a redsea mesh lid works good. I lost my black head jaw fish left my lid off alittle over night. They always find a place to jump eventually.

I had that feeling when they talked about extra pond pumps.

Sweet set up thanks for sharing. Oh bristle worm stings aren’t that bad lol. May I ask what you do for a living? Dustin

Tank looks great I’m in Springfield Oregon

Wow that’s awesome, sweet set up

I’ve been up to portland to Cuttlefish once. It was amazing, Jeff was there on a Sunday, I couldn’t even tell he was the owner. Very friendly, answering all my questions, not making me feel dumb. Keep up the great work and happy holidays

I wish I woulda checked this out when I was in Berlin.

Welcome to the site I’m over here in Springfield. Good to know about the aquarium store I’ve driven by it for awhile and never stopped in.

I love cuttlefish I made the drive up from Springfield few months back such an awesome place.

I also like the Eheim brand heaters.

Bicycle bill posted this also, interesting article

I’ve had good luck at petco. It all depends on what store and who takes care of the pets there.

Can you post a picture of tank up and running? Thanks

I’ve taken rocks out and set them in a bucket with tank water. Seems when the water gets cooler my brittle stars start to explore and I can snag them.

I like my AIO 10g water box. Dustin

How big is the tank?

I would separate them if it was myself.

What kind of corals are you looking for? I’m in Springfield. Dustin

I’d stay away from a mandarin in a tank that small. I think 3 fish for a 20 AIO is plenty. Dustin
