   Good morning ,

  I had a sandstorm due to 1 max-jet 1200 fall at the bottom of the aquarium and run for a straight 10 hours pushing sands  everywhere in the tank ...


i cleaned the rock with a turkey baster and everything look fine except ... all my tangs and a cardinal are doing fast breeding


   I already lost my Naso and my Sailfin is in a pretty bad shape ..look healthy and everything except ( Fast breeding )


I think this is due because of the sandstorm i had .... I'm i right ?

do you have any air pump you could add for bubbles.
then do a waterchange because with that sandstorm, ammonia probably spiked

why did the powerhead fall off?  never use the suction cups as they always fail. they must be hung from tank. big time water change as you've basically released stored up poison and killed your sandbed.

If you want a sailfin mollie orange approx +2.5" you are welcome to him. I want to get rid of him adding a replacement. He's been in my s/w setup for 3 months very active.
