Well yesterday the new octo did arrive, I acclimated him as normal, and put him in a critter carrier with live sand and Lr, shells to make him comfy, then i had to go back to work, all was well. We have been having horrible rain and i had to delivery paychecks to Corsicana. Long story short i ended up in an accident and didnt get home til way after 7pm. By then the poor little guy had passed

he was curled up when he came out of the bag so he might have gone thru to much stress, and the box had heat pacs in it,, so im not quite sure whats going on. I got up this morning and did the guanlet of tests on the tank to make sure i hadnt missed anything. Everything was just about perfect. Only Nitrate was at .02 ppm which is way low. I am NOT at all blaming Jack, he went way beyond what he had to do. I just dont know whats going on. Anyone have any ideas as to what im doing wrong???? :|
