cerebus Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I was trying to reseal the inside lip of my tank earlier today, and while I was doing it the silicone tube burst in my hand. I guess some of the silicone got into the water, because I noticed most of my fish gasping at the surface. I've moved all the fish to other tanks, and I'm in the process of doing a 100% water change. Is there anything else I should be doing for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Adding some carbon to the filter can't hurt incase there is any residue left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerebus Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thankfully, the fish made it through this without any casualties. One of my rainbows was floating tail down when I discovered the problem, but even he pulled through. I've put fresh carbon in the filters and ran the tank empty overnight. I'll probably throw one or two 'sacrificial lambs' back in there tonight to make sure everything is okay before putting everyone back. This was my largest tank, so this ordeal has really made for some overcrowded 20 gallon tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
