Thanks but these bubbles are floating in the water Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have a 50 gal cichlid tank. I had these very tiny bubbles - millions of them- it almost looks like the water is cloudy, but if you look close you can see that it's bubbles. About 8 months ago I added a second 360 fluval canister filter and the bubbles went away - water was crystal clear. I did...

I bought a new thermometer, and test kit. After my water change the Nitrates were at 80, ill plan to do another WC this week. I'm going to take the opportunity to re-do my set up starting with my substrate (gravel to sand), and possibly redo my filter. I currently have a fluval canister but for...

Thanks twestacot (and everyone who responded) I just removed the deceased 13 in all - only the two small fry remain. I will do the water change now, get the test kit today and see where I'm at. I agree that is must have been the thermometer to have killed them all so fast. I'll have to take...

It was always at 78, but when I saw everyone dead the first thing I checked was the temp and it was 85- I just pulled the plug on the thermometer. If it has been 85 for an extended period could that have killed them? To be honest the water temp is something I rarely check anymore.

As odd as it may sound I just joined this site last night (was going to ask about small snails in my 50gal cichlids tank and I woke up this morning and they are all dead!? There are literally 13 full grown cichlids all dead. The tank is well established - 6 years old- and I am in shock and not...
