    My Naso Tang Rupaul, named for his cross dressing lipstick appearance passed away this mornig.. Noticed he was staying more stationary in the tank over the past couple days and thought something was off.. well I woke up this morning and he was hugging the MP40w. Shame I really like this fish was so personable.. Still not sure what caused it..

    First off, sorry for your loss.
    Secondly, I would never call any of my fish Rupaul, but then again, I dont name the fish, my kids do. LOL
    Third, 20ppm of No3 is not high at all, if you would have said 80+up then I would agree with you. I had 20ppm for the longest with no ill affects what so ever. Luna

    Yeah it has been 20 forever.. Just can not get it to go down.. Killing me- normally I'm at zero.. something is throwing it off.. I'm going to try to hit the rocks harder with a powerhead.
