Menifee, socal
I decided to put some cucumber in my 300 today along with some cabbage. BIG MISTAKE. I left my house for a couple of hours and returned to a very cloudy tank which got so bad I could not see 6 inches into the water.

I never rinsed or boiled the cabbage before I put it into the tank, so it must have had pesitcides on it. I lost a longfin Geo, a green Phantom pleco, 3x tinfoil barbs and a bala shark. My 24" silver aro, delhezi bichir, super red severum, royal clown knife, green terror and a comon pleco did survive which I am very thankful for.

Im gutted:cry: Never had a problem puting lettice or cucumber straight into the tank.

Cabbage or cucumber? Sorry for your loss. :( I hate losing a fish, six the worse.

Good warning for others, here.

I put both in. Never had a problem with cucumber before. I had to completly empty the tank, suck all the gravel out with a shop vac just to be sure. So now its bare bottom with no decorations at all.
