    I went away for the weekend..before i left thursday night everything was great..my melanurus wrasse looked fat healthy and happy..had my roommate feed 3/4 cube of brine on saturday..dose the 2 part every morning..and top off the tank with RO...I didn't get home until after lights out last night and when they came on this morning i saw a fleshy ball drifting along the bottom..so i waited to see who it was...the scooter blenny came out..then the blue sided fairy wrasse..no melanurus....did tests and the only things different was that my nitrates were around 20..usually a little lower..and my alk was slightly lower than normal..My roommate said that the power flashed on and off a few times but didn't go out for any extended periods..so I'm not too sure what has happened...this sucks...

    On a brighter notes..for those of you who saw my "cloudy water getting ridiculous" thread for my freshwater tank....the new substrate was the cure i believe..after 4 days the water is crystal clear!

    wow...well she's okay!! I'm really confused because there is a white fleshy ball floating around i haven't had a chance to get out yet..It's just weird because she's always the very first up in the morning..guess she decided to sleep in! :) This makes my day! i was pretty bummed about it..
