GundamCichlid Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Better do 50% water change and add some cycle to develp the good bacteria that may died during the black out. Also vacum your substrate if possible. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Have you tested your water? if so what are the readings? what fish are dieing? what are you feeding? How long has the tank been set up. You wont get an answer that is correct until you provide that info as a minimum. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Going off the bare minimum information you have provided, I'm hazarding a guess at it being a problem with ammonia as the number of bacteria would have plummeted with the lack of oxygen available during the blackout. I do not think it would be a temperature related issue. PS - If you don't provide the information Josh requested plus any other observations then no one one will reply as it is impossible to help with no information.
