Why????
Why do fish die????? :-( My purple fire fish went missing, and 2 days later my royal gramma. They were fine and boom gone. I last saw the purple fire fish at night and next day when lights came on he didn't come out of his home :-( The royal gramma I saw at 7am dozed on couch woke up and haven't seen him since. It's been almost 2 weeks now. Grrrrrrrrrrr my favorite fishie Mr Purple gone. I tested waters and all appear good except nitrate was still high but going down, that bugger lived very good when they were 160 ppm, now they are around 40 (I know high but coming down slowly) some corals bit the dust due to it taking too long but I can only do just so much of a water change. I am gonna re arrange the rock which I'm sure is gonna cause a disaster.
Anyone got a good thread, u-tube video that shows me how to do ATO for my sump?
55gal has all the rock I have in it and want to put water in but........I need to have 75 perfect before i get 55 gal going and have headache.
I need a routine too LOL, everything is all over the place.
Suggestions for labeling cords????

What i did for my cords was i got about 12-13 obviously different colors of nail polish. Then i just painted the plug and wrote out a corresponding color sheet, which hung on the inside door of my stand. I like this method because after awhile you will learn the colors and not need the sheet

I needed electrical tape so i bought different colors and am gonna wrap cord near plug with it. 6 colors will give me alot of different combinations.

Reef2Go problems
Any body have problems with this company?????
I have 2 of 4 fish died, 1 coral not looking so hot, and my macro algae starter pack never came with the order that I paid for. I took a picture of the dead fish with the form they gave me and emailed them. Just contacted today about the missing algae, but til I found my order form I wasn't sure I had paid for it til today when I found that I did and I didn't received it. I'm very unhappy with this company at the moment.
I've contacted and am only getting an automated reply. Is this normal for this company?
Tried to pm them and they do not accept pm's. What's up with that????
Thanks

I'm sure they're just busy with many orders from the black friday and the holidays coming up but that's no excuse for this to happen. I'm sure they'll take care of you - I have had nothing but good experiences with reefs2go.

Thanks, I finally got responses and with the completion of the problem, I have decided I will no longer be ordering once I use the credit somehow, I don't want to pay friggen shipping after I placed a high enough order to avoid it, there is nothing else I want so now my 50 plus dollars gets to sit with them instead of back in my pocket until a.....I pay shipping for 2 fish or b spend EVEN more money to avoid shipping. I don't have more money to spend, that was my xmas. grrrr I will shut up now.
I'm not even gonna bother sending them the pic of the coral that looks like crap from day one and still hasn't opened and looks like it is melting together, so I know that it is not going to survive (it's in quarantine too). I quarantine everything. One other coral that had 5 polyps only has 1 that has opened, the rest of it looks icky too. Not a good experience.

It's going ok. I have alot to do with it, since it has kinda been on hold since surgery. Am able to more a little better now so I plan on getting my hands in the tank this week end. Glass needs cleaning/scraping, need to move a few corals and rock. Need to clean skimmer and sump. Only thing I have done since surgery was top off water and feed. Pump fell down onto rock and wedged itself, has been like that for almost a month since i have been physically limited. Range of motion is slowly coming back so i can start doing more and more again. Hell just started cleaning my house again and am now back to work after 2 months. Should be back to my regular job in another month not without pain med though. I will post some pictures this weekend of my mess. My refugium has decided it was gonna take up all 3 sections of the sump so now i have sand and gunk everywhere. I am thinking of redoing the sump.
