Chaos

I had a 90 gallon fish tank set up, and sadly it went from great, to a pure disaster in less then 24 hours.

I don't know if it was the heat. I don't know if it was the new fish in the tank. I don't know if a existing problem suddenly decided to manifest. I don't know if I disturbed a air pocket of toxins when I cleaned the tank. Heck, I don't know if I managed to kill to much beneficial bacteria when I cleaned the tank.

All I know is that a great tank with two peaceful oscars, and a bunch of goldfish all died within 48 hours.

So what do you do when your favorite fish tank goes belly up? You write a blog about the after math of course. This blog will in the first post go from what I did to clean up the disaster to what I did to restart the tank with new fish and beyond. I will talk about all the equipment I have, and all the fish I have. But most of all - I will be honest. Hold nothing back, even if I know I am a fool for doing something. This blog will be as much a reference for myself as I hope it will be for other people.

I have no plans for exact fish yet, but I highly suspect this will be a community tank, instead of the semi aggressive tank it was previously. It is a 90 gallon tank so there is quite a bit of room for a very interesting tank.

Wish me better luck this time around.
