got home last night to find in my main tank what looked like 2 dead 12" plus L25's! sh!t me pants and ripped the hood off the tank. that scared them and they moved a bit. they were both really light in colour and on closer inspection i noticed that the filter was clogged and the fish werent getting any oxygen. sorted it all out and went to bed. barely got a wink lol! this morning they seem alot better but still a bit pale in colour. hope im out of the woods! any advice?
OOOHH! close one!

a good water change might help too.
I had a similar low oxygen problem once when I added some meds and did not realise they reduce oxygen and I should have had an air stone.
do you have much surface water movement or air bubbling in the tank, this helps to maintian oxygne levels too.

Lucky save!! I always like to keep my spray bars above the waterline as so to get maximum surface agitation as well as a powerhead with venturi.
lol! mate, it was horiible! they were all white and floating! cleared out the filters but didnt change water as i dont like to do too many changes at once to the tank for example filter clean, gravel clean, water change etc. but tonight will change 40%
