My 17" silver is white and in trouble. I have a fairly new odyssea 4 ext canister
yesterday afternoon the lid blew off and with less than a few moments my tank was over have empty. Total loss 3/4 day after a 50 % water change, new water hadn't had time to sit. Filled tank with temp. matching well water. ph ok, tests all show ok chemically. He's white, laying on his side sometimes letting the current carry him. I watched one die for 14 hours once, this is how he looked at first.
Rebuilt canister and found it was defective, 2 plastics pieces snapped. (explains why they are cheap on ebay)

I am very sorry to hear about your situation. I hope the aro gets well again. Now onto odyssea. Please do not buy anything from them. They used to be called Jebo. The reason? I heard from a very very good and close source they were being sued several times for fires to homes in texas and other states. The metal halide ballasts do not even have a grounding plug. There are all sorts of nightmares about them. Do a search about Jebo and you will see. Ok, well hope all will be well.

Only time will tell if your fish will make it. Good news? My LMB was in the same situation behaviorally and he came out of it and is doing fine.
