Hey everyone!
I have a 30 litre tank, all my equipment is new and working temp 78° and salinity 1.024 and other levels all fine! Even went to my local pet store and had it all retested! I have live rock with a few hitch hikers but they have all been ID'ed and are friendly. I have had the fish for 2 weeks and are the only fish in the tank.. they had already sorted out their dominance issues and got along brilliantly! Until late last night they were absolutely fine but I woke up this morning to them both dead.. being up late and then up early this must of happened quickly.. Talking things over with my local Aquatics I came to the thought that I Polished the tank lid about mid day and may of put it on the wrong way round.. meaning the condensation is dripping the polish into the water. I now have a bag of carbon hanging in the tank and the man in the store said this is all I can do and let it cycle for a week? Please any advise would be great, I am a complete newbie to this and feel like I have made a horrible mistake that I really dont want to do again!
On a side note how long can I store ready made salt water and RO water?
Thank you all in advance!
