Answer
Hello Brittany,

I am so SO sorry for your and your family.

I will do my best to try to get the answer, as i think you know, if we dont fid the answer, the frustration on not being able to prevent along with the money sounds like it maybe a deal breaker???

I would also like to confirm what your maintenanice schedule and routine is...  (how often do you do 'water changes', and how often and how much do you add for 'fresh water'

What is your fish inventory, and what other critters do you have in the tank...


And if possible, please list what the water parameters are, as i dont trust fish stores that much...


Let me know as much info as possible and we will work on this some more...
