What is a Tank Crash?


Recommended Posts

A tank crash, in my definition, is when the biological filtration is suddenly overloaded and no longer able to control a sudden surge of pollutants causing elevated levels of ammonia, nitrite or nitrates to kill everything in the tank.

Pollutants can be a result of overfeeding, overstocking leading to the death and decomposition of a substantial mass of liveforms. It can also be due to poisoning from a natural source or an external one, overheating or overchilling or the sudden drop of oxygen levels in a tank, causing the living biological filtration system to fail.... it can happen when water circulation completely stops.

It's a cascading effect... so it will eventually lead to more deaths... more pollution... until a total 'crash' happens.

Eh? should'nt it be sexual? I get confused by ppl saying that caulerpa going asexual is bad..but why is this so? Is'nt sexual reproduction of caulerpa more dangerous?

Always something more important than fish.

Asexual :biology: without sexual fusion: used to describe reproduction in which there is no fusion of male and female ###### cells (gametes), for example, vegetative reproduction or budding SO it does means that they are getting sexual(eg, Mating, Have S@@, Making L@@@,....) :lol:

:peace:
