Thanks, Marvin. I did some more reading on these fish, and it turns out
they are alot more sensitive to water conditions than I had thought. The
guppies are still alive though, so I guess they are much easier to keep.

They're still gasping though, and the air pump doesn't seem to help much.
They do swim around longer though before resurfacing. When they are at the
surface, they stay there for a good while before coming down again.
Anyone else have a siliar experience with an Eclipse tank system, or any
others?

Anyway, for those who may be following this thread, here's the latest on my
water condition:
ammonia: 0-0.1 ppm
nitrite: .2 ppm (stable for almost 2 days now)
temp: 77F
dH/kH/nitrates: ?

The water is still clear with a very slight white haze (almost invisible).
The chemicals I have used so far a
* Kordon AmQuel & NovAqua
* Aquatronics BacterPlus
* Nutrafin Plant-Gro

Unfortunately, I already lost my neon tetras Good thing they are
cheap! I found two dead this morning, and the last one died several hours
ago. He was breathing frantically, and finally died under a piece of
driftwood. I think my heater could be to blame for this also, because it
malfunctioned and by the time I noticed, the temperature was up in the
mid-80's (and the heater wouldn't shut off, even though it was set to a
little under 79).



Hi Dino,

Your Neon Tetras would not mind the temperature in mid-80's. The reason
they died is most likely the big 100% water change.

Good luck,
