    Did you acclimate it before you put it in?

    Was it an overnight shipment or from the LFS.

    Thanks for the video... you have no idea how that helps.

    Air pumps are never a bad thing. I always add one when I'm trying to figure out my next step.

    Ohhhh.... yikes.... I'm afraid to say you are going to loose that.

    Could be bacterial.... lemme try to watch the video upstairs where the connection is decent.
