I recently had a bit of a catastrophe with my fish tank where I lost a lot of livestock and had to give the remaining fish/shrimp away.
The tank is currently sitting empty and dry.
I'm trying to figure out what went wrong, I did a water change on Monday, everything seemed fine. Did another water change on Wednesday when I spotted the problem, another water change at 1 in the morning when I saw the shrimp trying to escape. By Thursdays morning I had to evacuate what was left alive and give up on the tank.
The only thing that changed was that I started using a new RO water supplier on Monday.
I want to get the water properly tested to see if there was anything in it that could have caused a crash in my system.
I only have the basic test and a TDS stick which gives a reading of 2.
Can anyone recommend a company that can help me?
The tank is currently sitting empty and dry.
