	Not having a good month
tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003	Today I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and noticed I couldn't see into my tank and the fish were gasping. I think my diy co2 malfunctioned and entered the tank. I can't think of anything else. The tank was crystal clear just hours earlier. I just did a 50% water change and the tank is still cloudy. Is it possible that the yeast are reproducing inside my tank? Anyone have any ideas? Last edited by tetratech at 31-Aug-2005 04:01 My Scapes

I doubt the yeast is doing much other than rotting in the tank, i don't think there'd be enough sugar to keep them happy. Did you check your co2 line for that nasty sludge to see if it crept up the line and got into your tank?

I've disconnected mixture hours ago, and I didn't notice much in the tube. I already changed half the water and it didn't even put a dent in it. NH3 did rise to 1 ppm. The tank really smells. Lost a few fish before I could remove. My Scapes
