Aquarium Advice Addict
Ok so he was using tap water, which was the first question asked but never answered. Depending on how bad the water is, copper, etc I can see inverts not surviving. Fish jumping? I've had fish jump in what I thought were pristine conditions too...
Ya he got 3 fishs who carpet surfed, and 2 dead In that tank I think, or maybe 2 carpet surf and 3 in tank dead.
I have same water as him in my tap, we get our water from the same supplier, this summer, the TDS were <100ppm, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and undetectables nitrates. For cooper, Idk, but I can tell my freshwater shrimp are still ok, no fishes lost in thoses aquarium where I don't RODI the water.
Anyways, I think he got an RODI unit since 2-3 months, he told me things weren't going good.
So what I suggested to him by phone, is to remove rocks, brush them into old saltwater with a toothbrush or any bigger brush, put thoses rocks back to the main, scrub glasses with a razor blade (he already have one), he don't need to cut on feeding, as all his (noninvert)livestock is already dead, and to test for stray voltage.
Guys, anybody near quebec got a voltmeter, so we can test his stray voltage ? For some reasons, I'm almost sure stray voltage is the initial problem, and can't prove it.
