Welcome to BYC!
What kind of fish do you keep?

well until some weird random, over night death, it was Coi, goldfish, and pleco’s (algae eaters, sucker fish etc...)

Welcome!

What kind of fish do you have? I keep fish as well, I have an outdoor koi pond.

I had a koi in a 20 gallon, then 3 goldfish and a pleco in another 20 gallon.
ha I also have a 20 gallon that I found on side of road, it had a major leak of course so me being the green thumb I am, I turned it in a worm bin, ie worm poop= great fertilizer for my garden

Sorry for your loss.

Koi need at least 1,000 gallons when fully grown, IMO.

it’s ok they were old fish, didn’t expect them to live as long as they did at all.
And if you keep the water really clean, I mean double filtration, on each 20 gallon tank I was push TWO tank filters rated for 100 gallon tank. Water was crystal clear!?
