Apparently, I'm not the only one to have set up a salt tank and followed all the rules like run the tank for at least two full months before introducing salt fish including a clown fish, only to have it die eight hours later! That was my first and last attempt at a salt tank. I do have a lot of corral from a gentleman that had lost three salt tanks full of fish and he gave me all his corral to look elegant on display around my home. He had bought untested corral that could have been near an oil spill that killed all of his fish.

Still another person said, my current parameters are all pretty stable, everything looks healthy and yet I've killed 3 clownfish and I feel absolutely horrible.                                      Parameters: pH: 8.2-8.4, Nitrate: 10ppm, Temp: 77 degrees, SG: 1.024 (lowered from 1.026), Ca: 380 mg/L, dKH: 9

The moral of the story, don't set up a salt tank unless it's managed by a Marine Aquarium Specialist!

So, ©"Goodybye Clown Fish," is a memorial to a beautiful fish!
