    Looks really good @DewaldC. Love the fact that there's not a million filter pipes all over the place!

    How many fish do you have in there at the moment?

    Doing any fertilizer dosing?

    I doubt it was because you skipped a water change dude. Seriously, don't beat yourself up about it. GBR's are finniky little blighters, and if they don't come from really good, healthy stock, they can be in perfect health one day, and dead the next.

    i'm inclined to agree with @SeanJ on this one, a fish will generally die because of consistently poor water maintenance. even finicky ones. and as we've seen on the forum the last few weeks / months (?) there have been a lot of gbr deaths for no good reason.
