The more I read, the more I feel at ease about this. Sumps to me have always = leakage in my head, but assuming this has been setup successfully before and does not involve me drilling bits I think it should be fine. I have requested pics and a bit more info on the actual setup itself so I will post...

So I have come across a 6 x 2 x 2 with 4ft sump tha...

What are/were the loaches like - were they nicely rounded or did they appear to be under weight? Were they small loaches (1-1.5 inches)? What were you feeding and how often? Do you know what the maintance of the tank was like before you got it? Do you use any chemicals/co2 for the plants? Any water ...

That does not look like a healthy clown :? When the 'colour change' began did you do anything to the tank-large water change for example? The test strips are not themost reliable of water tests-you would be much better with liquid test kits as they are far more accurate. Your nitrates are a little h...
