Hey guys,
I was out of the country for 2 weeks and had to leave my beloved 12g nano in the hands of my incompetent roommates...I came home to a tank I couldn't even see into because there was so much algae on the glass. The coral hasn't come out because it's covered with algae. The water is warm and cloudy from the heat of the light being left on for days.
I only have 2 Clowns in there, and at the moment both are laying on their side in the sand breathing heavily. I didn't want to, but I performed an emergency water change despite their stressed out state to help replenish oxygen/cooler water. I replaced about 4 gallons (1/3 tank) and squeezed out the sponge filters. No other media being used. They instantly responded by breathing better, but they keep swimming to the top to fight for oxygen.
What has happened to my tank?? I'm really upset and pissed off and hope that everything will recover. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to save my poor Nemos.
