Josh Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Was the pump running while out of the water? If it was then it might be burnt out. Were did all the water go? Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 ditto what Josh said. I'm struggling a bit to understand you post. If the water level was so low where is the water? It didnt just disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Evaporation maybe in the hotter weather? Especially if the bucket is open at the top, you'll lose a certain amount of water through evaporation which will need topping up more often in hotter weather. I'm having to add around 10L a week to my 500L tank to make up for water lost to evaporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burek Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 The filter was out of the water when i checked the tank. Honestly i dont know where the water went becasue i checked all aroudn and there wasent one drop. maybe it was evaporation? This resulted in a lot of my fish dieing when i had to add new water. it stuned me to see all my water go down to like 10cm. in my bucket there is alot of wool, maybe it got dried up in it? but i never had problems with that. and the bucket is open always. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 When was the last time you saw the tank and it was full? I doubt such a large amount of water will just disappear via evaporation in a short time. Maybe it has all dripped down onto the powerboard where you have plugged the filter in. Just be careful mate, you have a lot of electricity going into the tank(via the heater, filter, air pump) and you now have a lot of missing water. Be careful where you step.
