Well I came home tonight and found 3 P-bass (1 Tem and 2 possibly monos) dead in my 240. My 2 Jars where breathing heavy, and so where the three Silver Aros, along with the RD/Midas. Only one the looked normal was my Jurense Catfish.

Both my FX5s had very poor flow, which I think is what killed them. Just 5-6 days ago the flow was perfectly fine. So I cleaned all the pads in both and did not clean the ceramic rings. I also did a 70% water change. Flow of both FX5s appear normal now and almost all the fish seem to be swimming normal. Hopefully I resolved the problem.

Pics are below of the 3 P-bass (about 10-13in)I lost, had them for about 1.5-2 years, and were eating pellets and shrimp. I still have two smaller p-bass in another tank. Kinda sucks I lost them. :irked:

wow sorry to hear bro!!
 
sorry to hear bro!!! I recently lost my 4" Kelberi!!! I know the feeling :cry:...All you can do is bounce back
 
That sucks bro, Only use the sponges that comes with the FX5 the ones that go on the outside of the trays, all others will become blocked very quickly. IMO
 
sorry to hear that!

I have two others in another tank. Might get one to grow out and place in the tank.

Ya that is what looked like happend. Mine took about two months, but I cleaned both before at different times so I figured they wouldn't clog at the same time. If you have the outside sponges and just the bio rings in the middle does that still polish the water pretty decently?
