Cesar Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Maybe a necropsy should be performed? It was a good looking damsel. Funny you mention this. I have a friend that wanted to get into this hobby but he was just not understanding the fundamentals. Well he asked me "What do you do when a fish dies on you". I said to him "Well remove him from the water and you might, just might want to do a little water change". He asked me if i needed to do an autopsy This guy... Link to comment

peanut1181 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Man Tigah, that damsel was sweet looking. Sorry about the loss. The tank is looking awesome and can't wait to see the finished product. Folks, just FYI: autopsy is for people... necropsy is for animals. I didn't know that until a short time ago and thought I'd pass it along. Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Here's a full system shot... Cleaning the acrylic was pretty hard, so I had to reaquascape just a little on the right side. just chiseled off a chunk of the LR. much easier to get to the front panel now. angle shot...
