| Re: HELLP!! tank recycling after 6 months, 2 dead!!! All that in a 10 gallon tank? WOW!! That's heavily overloaded. I'm not surprised that it crashed.
Sorry, don't mean to be insensitive, but you had that 10 stocked like it was a sardine can. The recommended stocking limits are 1 inch of fish, (measured at the adult size, (NOT the small size when you get it) for each 5(
FIVE) gallons. That means your 10 was safe for 2 inches of fish, which leaves out the gramma, one clown, let alone 2, and I'm not sure what goby you have, but most are ok, as long as they're the only fish in the tank.
You have to watch the bio-loads in saltwater tanks. They can't handle being overloaded the way most freshwater tanks can.
