Re: [AquaticLife] Outage! My fish are dying!

 

Any surface movement to exchange the tank "surface" with the water
column - the better the Oxygen in the water column.

The larger tanks tend to stratify and need help to move the water
around to get the surface air.

Smaller tanks are in real trouble because of the quick build up of
urine (Ammonia) and the numbers of fish per gallon can be a deadly
problem.

Baking Soda and salt help in small tanks to stabilize the pH prevent
NitrITE build up. Salt in the water helps the fish's kidneys to
maintain the correct osmotic pressure.

Wash your sponge filters as soon as you are able to do so. The
Bacteria are mostly dead but not gone. You can bring everything back
to life.

Been There and Done That!
