Tank really hot when I got home need help

How about a rough paddle?
Hello; I have been both a deliverer and a receiver with a paddle. Had a few given to me when a student. Gave out a few when a teacher. The paddle was still in common use in 1970 when I first started as a teacher. Paddle was taken away and along with it was largely gone an effective classroom environment for learning. The paddle being gone would not have been a big deal but pretty much all other effective discipline measures were eventually also removed.
 
Idk know why you guys hate why my tank is decorated I understand making sure it’s fish safe but it’s common to see fresh water tanks decorated like salt tanks around here
It's just a peeve of mine to see tanks decorated that way.It goes back to when used to see African cichlid tanks done up with fake coral and such like they are knock off or wanna be saltwater tanks..in fish shops of all places.It just looks so cheesey lol.I pick with you and others about it but I don't mean any harm.

:Camero Show" - if I may interject a reply. I dunno if it's so much a hate towards your decor nor stock, I think it may just be the way you have posted about your stuff in the past. Case in point, I dunno you, but I do understand some of the replies to you in this thread. Because I have seen you post in the past couple months about your 90g $5000 tank etc etc, So I guess I understand some of the replies. I know you're young from what I gather from your avatar and your posts, all I'm saying is we were all young once and said/done/posted things we maybe wish we did not. Anyway, with that said...

I agree with the other guys about your ghost knife. Isolate home for the time being. He looks a bit stressed at least. Also guys asked for your tank parameters, you said "my levels are excellent there’s not a issue with my water quality"....to me that just sounds like you have no idea what your parameters actually are man. I'm not trying to call ya out, but do you even know what your PH/ammonia/Nitrate are perhaps? If not then buy a API test kit, it will help a lot.

Also far as losing the Gold Nugget, that may not even be your fault man. I'm a huge pleco guy, but I can tell ya the Gold Nugget L177/081 is a VERY hard pleco to keep. I've lost 3 myself over the years even knowing their needs, they are just a hard pleco to keep unless you keep just a tank of them and nothing else. They can seem fine for 2-3 months then they just get sunken belly and die . Just how they can be so that may not even be your fault.

BTW don't take anything I said the wrong way, just trying to offer some help/advice is all. I have nothing at all against ya and I wish ya the best bud.

I have a api master test kit and test strips my nitrate is about 5 it’s not even to the 10 my nirite is 0 and my ammonia is 0 ph is 6.8 and my water is very hard
6.8 and hard water don't go together... The PH may be close to crashing
 
Camaro, you'll find that this community will bend over backwards to help you, if only you let us. As S Steve_C said, we've all been where you are now. We can and will help you, but honesty is a requirement on your part.

And forgive me for saying so, but at this point, your integrity is somewhat in question.
