Outdoor FGT problem
Hey guys,
I've a 6ft By 3ft FGT partially exposed to the weather Have cycled the water but somehow, after raining - all my fish turned belly up. Have been keeping goldfish, Koi and even Catfish - yes even the catfish died in there! Have bought test kits to check on the water parameters and the reading looks fine. Any recommendations on pond specialist that I can turn to - the last one made changes to my filter box but problem still persist. Thanks |
Rain water fall into your fgt from the roof or direct from the sky.
|
recent mosquito control, fogging, insecticide spreading, etc...
rain water might not be so safe for fishes after all. however, it is not conclusive for now. can you share with us a description of your set up, as noidea asked, how did rain water get into your tank? direct from the sky, flowed through roof gutters, etc? |
Could be many things. Like change water even a little need to add anti chlorine. Acid rain. Any algae boom? Upstairs or from outside got people sabo.

Hey guys - the rainwater run off from my patio roofing before pouring down on to the ground. In the process, inevitably, some would flow into the FGT
|
hi , what's the PH of your tank when u used the test kit?
|
Last few days I collected lots of rain water n put into my tank. Before that I just test the ph seems ok, 7+.
|
its not about the pH only.

Bro Featherfin, just to confirm- how and what did u use to cycle your tank? Did you do it correctly?
My reason of asking is that I came across someone telling me he cycled his tank for 1-2months... In the end I found out what he meant is he just filled up water into tank and turning on his pump for 2 months without any other necessary things in... The water cycles in tank for 2 months and thus the tank is cycled :eek: I faint :o |
