220 exploded

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
sorry this happened to you & family. I've had home floodings and that is very rugged all by itself...can only imagine the mass fish loss & upset spouse, while sloshing thru water & damages :-( Not to mention the baby nightshift. yikes.
I hope your sev comes out fine.
 
Small update all cichlids dead except green severum which is the only one I care about. He is a fighter. He looks extremely rough, but is keeping upright under his own power now. I pray he makes it, had him longer than my wife. He and the fire eel are in the tote with an emperor 400 and 2 air pumps with 1 sponge filter and 3 big air stones. Gonna run to petsart and get some stress coat for the severum. Anything better to help heal and fight off disease to a banged up cichlid?
I see on your sig that you used a 55***** gallon for a sump on the 220, you should put the severum in that as hospital tank, and use prime water conditioner and salt..

The sump has like 6 chambers and is drilled for exterior pump...wouldnt work. :(

water change the CRAP out of that tote man, that will help.
 
Josh, if the severum makes it thru I can put him in my 220.

What brand of tank was it and how old was the tank. My friend Tommy 220 gallon tank blew after 8 weeks. Sorry to hear about your problem.
 
I was already frequently laying in bed awake fearing things like this. Now with all these happening I feel sick to my stomach I am thinking crazy thoughts like draining my tanks halfway or something to lessen the stress on the glass. This stuff sucks hard.
