Morning Disaster

It sounds like your tank hasnt cycled. Ammo should be zero once its cycled. Should always be zero unless you have something rotting in there. But like RayJay said, you have too many big fish for a 90g tank. First rule of thumb is never listen to a LFS. They dont make money unless they sell you something. If the LFS knew your tank was still new, and new what fish you had in there and still sold you a flame angel, I wouldnt be going back there.... I'll stop there and not say anymore.

 

I appreciate everyones replies, perhaps I needed to include more details in my orignal post, but nevertheless my tank has been cycled but this event was caused by the new angel since it's arrival was complicated.. Should have never added him.

 

I agree with what Geek said, when I do go to my trusted LFS, the first Q's are;
How big is your tank?
How many fish do you have and which ones?
How old is the tank,lighting and parameters.
We then go from there. The mighty dollar prevails!

 

If you aren't prepared to consider the help, don't ask for it.
You have ignored most of what you have been told. The addition of the angel was not the problem, your tank set up is the problem. Too many fish that are or will be large, adding them too soon, not having enough biological filtration for the load in the tank, all are recipes for a disaster so adding the angel just hurried things along.

 

Hmm. I apologize for not acknowlodging every piece of information recieved on this thread. I have read all the feedback, however I did not know I wasn't doing what I was "told". At what point did I not say I wasn't considering the help? All I said was I should have included more details. What do you know what my future plans are? To your credit you don't. Maybe you need to relax a bit instead of waiting for an opportunity to jump on a member as you have done on this thread and others. You must really like the "sound" of your own posts.

 

No need to be defensive. I would say everyone here wants you to have a successful tank.

Shrimp, this is why I like 3-reef. I get it straight up. There are people on this forum that know truckloads more than I do about salt. I like it when advice comes with some teeth to it especially from those I trust and some people I know and trust have posted for you.

Now, if you are serious about using some of the experienced seasoned reefers here, clear out the dead fish, double check your tank params with another test kit, tell us your set up and whats left in the tank and show some pics. I for one would like to help. JIM

 

Im sorry but I agree with Shrimpskin. We all come here for two reasons; to get help or to give it. If Shrimpskin doesnt want to take any advice, thats his/her problem. You did your part in trying to help, no need to get aggressive.

 

In no way am I complaining, every one has every right to post as they wish within the parameters of this board. And let me state AGAIN that I truely appreciate this forum and all the information it is filled with. I have spent hours reading old posts and searching information just to educate myslef. I simply stated that there is no reason to respond emotionally. Such as the above post claimnig I cut corners. Say I did what's it to you? And unless you know me, have seen my setup how can you even pretend to make that claim accurately? Based on what I have posted here I presume, and if you wish to draw that conlusion so be it. Not sugar coating is one thing, responding in a way meant to PURPOSEFULLY make the poster look unappreciative and moronic is a totally different story. What warranted that response? That I didn't thank or acknowledge Ray's feedback? Check the ego at the login screen. Search some previous posts, and you will see it clear as day.

Once again I truely thank you for all your help and there is no doubt that the members of this board are the most passionate helpful folks I have come accross. I will post some updated pics, the flame and the tang were the only fish to pass. All my params are back to normal.

 

In my opinion I really didn't think you were complaining.... Best of luck with your tank...

 

No, I have NO idea what your plans are because you have not acknowledged having anything wrong in your tank and have not spoke of plans to rectify anything. You feel the problem was the addition of the angel. I agree, the angel should not have been added to the tank, but not for the same reasons I think you feel that it should not have been added.
I think most hobbyists asking for help, would have read the posts, maybe done some backup research to verify that the information was correct, and then posted that they would have to make appropriate changes, even though they may not know specifically at that moment, what exact changes they would be making.
You won't be the first to not like something I post, and not the last.
However, my original post with a "polite" tone didn't appear to make any impression on you based on your lack of acknowledging you had other problems, and based also on your post stating that the problem was the addition of the angel so I posted again and to this you did react.
You can keep on as you wish, and you will probably either learn by losses, or eventually give up and quit, or, you can heed advice and make appropriate changes, saving the lives of the inhabitants and future inhabitants
