    Default Linkia catastrophe!

    My orange linkia spontaneously died this morning and I was wondering what could cause this. He has been thriving since I put him in there 5 months ago.

    Stars a very sensitive to changes in water parameters. What are your nitrates? Any changes in anything else suddenly?

    ill test the parmeters today. Last week the nitrates were a little high as well as my amonia, which is always a little high because of the area I live's water. He withered away and my arrow crab decided to snack on his corpse.

    Yea really man. Putting ammonia into your water is bad bad idea. Buy an Ro system, or at least RO water. I think I paid $150 for my system.

    I got mine from AirWaterIce. Reefkeeper 4 stage for 189.00. Got '0' tds on the DI line. I later added another dual DI just to be sure. I got tired of hauling water, and I'm quite sure you will too. One of the best investments I made.

    Thats not that bad I guess. Still a good investment. After the membrane my TDS is 1-3, and zero after the DI.
