I lost my 3 inch Dickson Gold 3 days ago :-( I made the mistake of rinsing the sponge media in my AquaClear HOB too much. I performed the water change in the evening and when I woke up in the morning he was dead. None of my other juvies were effected but I did a 80% water change that morning and added Stability to the tank and have been for the last 3 days. Will do so for at least 5 more days. Sorry for your loss SHP

I don't know?? The sump is in the cabinet and pump pumps water up about 5 foot to the tank. Is water a good conductor?

from experience, it will still conduct from the sump to the main tank. If you have a multimeter you can check pretty easily - ground one contact and touch the water with the other. check for voltage and amperage. Or cut your nails too short and check that way (also from experience ;-)
absolutly!! hence the old proverbial getting electricuted while standing in water...lol

OK, I can do that but will save the nail trick for later.
Here's a closeup of the face. Look at the pits...HITH and perhaps not minor?

looks like a normal face to me...

how soft is your water? I have seen my discus get jumpy when the water was too soft and the ph crashed( checked it at 3.8 or so) had to add coral

GH, should be about 140? I will go measure that.

Sorry to hear Pat. Hope it is a single incident and no more are affected. Gary, is all that pitting on the fish's face normal? I know they have pits, but that many and uneven? Just wondering.

Ross, I can go measure it but pretty sure it's about that. I have tested quite a bit since having discus and it's florida well water which is known for it's hardness. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have the water tested for heavy metals.
