Well, on top of my betta dying in my 3gal for reasons unknown to me, and my goldfish dying in my 29gal for reasons unknown to me.. I almost had a disaster in my 75gal tank.
I hooked up a UV sterilizer to it a few weeks ago and I had to turn the flow down. Well, over the last few days my diatoms got REALLY bad and when I looked closer, there were the beginnings of dark green spots. Thats when I realized there was no water coming out of my outtake. After further investigation, my filter was so dirty that when putting it on a lower flow just completly stopped it.
So I cleaned out my filter, and have it running full blast and tomorrow I will lower the flow for the UV sterilizer. Ugh. That could have been bad!
Now, I need to figure out what to do with my 29 and 3gal tanks =o/
