#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Alright so I woke up this morning and coudlent here my air pump goinmg but thought nothing of it, Looking around in my room I took a glance at my salt tank, And it was so merky I could only see about 3-4 inches in. So I'm looking around tring to see what happend and where my fish are, Well the undergravel filter that I had on there shut right down and relesed all the toxins straight into the tank. Well needless to say it Killed everything, My perc, Peperment shirmp and my ugly damsel that I had. The only thing that lived were bristel worms "spaghetti worms" and my hermit crabs. Yeah so this morning sucked and I have to restart my tank from pretty well scratch. O well just means that I could get my new tank set up even faster!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

The old guy works in mysterious ways... you must be destined for a much bigger tank.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#O dont you worry about the bigger tank lol, Because of this my dad is going to help me get my other tank set up to saltwater by the end of the week. I'll be shure to put some pics up to show yeah the progress. He is also paying for all the wood to make a custom hood to house the metal halieds. Even after that I wont have many fish, Only 3 from my dads tank that he's shutting down, A Marine Beta, Yellow tail damsel and Saddle Back clown. Possibly if hes still alive in there a pistol shrimp but I highly doubt that, I havent seen him in over a year. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

That sure does suck rocks... Now's your chance to take that undergavel filter and smash it to bits so you'll not be tempted to use it again in a salt tank. They are great when they work, but when they fail they really fail.
