Re: Aquatic Plants Digest V1 #219
A tragedy...
My roomate had an urge to help me out this weekend by topping off my tanks
(a 30 and a 20 both heavily planted) with RO water. But instead of using RO
water he put in a couple gallons of 50X African Violet fertilizer in each
tank. I got home an hour later and he was frantic trying to figure what to
do. I simply did a complete water change, fished out all of the dead fish,
and changed out all of the filter media. i figure that i am going to be
removing dead plant material for a while due to the osmotic shock and
poisoning. I can already tell that i am going to loose all of my
crpytocorynes...well the old growth at least. The newest growth doesn't
seem to be as damaged, and the swords all seem to be ok. I figure that i
should also do another big water change in the next few days.
Sigh...at least i can now get some nice new angelfish and possible discus :)
