levi i think the bacteria count in your water might be off the scale, the drip system might keep everything else in check but it doesnt change enough water fast enough (by volume) to keep bacteria populations in check.
it might explain or have a connection to the demise of your black arowana, your jag, some of the other fish youve lost and the reacuring health problems theyve had like the fungal infections (perch), and the demise of your ray.
You lost me man.
I'm changing 50 gallons a day on my 300 (via drip).
The jag had been fighting being sick for a long long time, the perch just was getting the crapped kicked out of him (now that he's in a different tank [with drip system] he's looking much much better), and I'm not sure where you came up with him having fungal infections.
If the drip system can maintain everything else, why can it not do so with these "bacteria" that I've apparently never heard of.
Come to think of it, I never started having problems till I added UV.
Now del, speak to me oh toothless one.
