Use Water Clarifier and all fish dead? - Page 2

I would do a 20% water change to help with the coudiness. Glad to hear the damsel is doing fine. What kind was he again? And just a note, because you have livestock in your tank you will want to add the liverock slowly. I small peice or two at a time. It is kind of like adding fish, but you are not just getting one kind but all sorts of good inverts and microfauna. However you do not need to acclimate your liverock. Just set it in the tank and it should do fine.

Stated in first post...."Topfin water clarifier"! Still Junk IMO. I would never use anything other than Prime if one must be used at all! I use none! The less chemicals, the beter!

Poop! I didn't realize I put a brand name in there.
he's just a blue damsel, they didn't have a name for him or anything.. I plan to do a 20% tonight already, and yes, that's what the guy at the LFS told me, dont add more than 2-3lbs of live rock per week and keep a close eye on the amonia levels. I was going to buy a large piece of liverock when I was there one day a while back and he talked me out of it. Convinced me to buy 1lb instead and sat there and sniffed each piece with me to make sure they didn't have too much "funk" from decaying sponges or whatever else may have been on them.

Well, It's wrong to NOT say what product "May" have caused you a problem! This will make others cautious at least. You will never prove that product alone crashed your tank. Letting others know what you added though can at least alert them to a "possibility" of a problem with a specific product!

Well, the Tank is still doing well. I discovered something odd though. . I had 5 hermit crab in my tank and now I have what looks to be a 6th, but not in a hard shell. How is that possible?
Anyway, Still no word from "topfin" so I called them today. The lady said she'd put this in as a second request and will make sure someone calls me in the next 48 hours. I'll let you know how it turns out.
