This hobby is killing me!!
About 2 weeks ago I had added a lawnmower blenny to the tank. He was small and seemed to be enjoying himself. His name was Waldo since he was so hard to find because he blended into the sand and rocks so easily.
He survived the leak incident that I had, and all fish were doing well. Unfortunately at some point one of the power heads was moved too close to the glass, and I found him trapped between the glass and powerhead dead. I turn my wavemaker to 3 minutes on and 3 minutes off between the two powerheads, so I assume 3 minutes of pressure was too much.
Now that he has passed away, we added a few frags to compensate and give us something to look at and enjoy. A couple of Rics, and a chalice, as well as a small hammerhead (being kept away from other corals). We did a bit of aquascaping since we didnt like the rocks, so the fish went into a fair size pail while we worked. Ever since we put things back in the Royal Gramma started getting white. Not spots, but just a white body.
The girlfriend just got back from buying a 10 gallon starter kit, and I am going to set him up in a QT. I dont think he is even going to make it for as long as it takes for the water to heat up.......so here goes some more money down the drain.
What is up with the Royal Gramma? I know by looking at him he is likely dying tonight. What is going on?? This hobby is killing me, as I cant seem to do anything right. Last checked water levels were all good.
This hobby is killing the bank account, and starting to get very frustrating. If I wanted to spend so much money and only be stressed and miserable.....I would ask my heartless ex to marry me.
Please help guys
