Originally posted by starburst21 OK, so apparently on Monday or Tuesday (while my roommate and I were both were out of town) there was this all-campus power outage. I'm assuming this cut off oxygen or something in the tank. If that's it, though, I realized this way after the fact---how long have I been sharing my room with dead fish?!
Anyway...thanks for the comments!
it was probably due to ammonia (amonia? NH4) build up. generally, there is enough oxygen in the tank for a few days, but take the filter out...wastes build up...its not a pretty site.
trust me, this marine bio major managed to kill almost all the lab fish one weekend
