Budwiser accident

Young Frankenstein · 03/18/2007, 02:59 PM

I accidentally spilled some budwiser in my tank and the fish seemed to be allot happier. Do you think is going to affect my corals?

uscharalph · 03/18/2007, 03:00 PM

LOL!!

My friend from south africa had a party where beer was spilled in his freshwater angel tank. By morning, all of the fish were dead.

Keep the skimmer giong and I would do a big water change....should be good....how happy are the fish?

Btw, how much beer and how big of a tank?

I don't know... But I want to party with you.

I'd do a water change just to be on the safe side.

I don't think it should do too much harm... water change is a good idea if you're worried.

In my 6th grade science class, we experimented with pouring alcohol into a bowl with some goldfish. Needless to say, they got drunk, but were fine after

75 gal tank should be fine.

amazingbobby · 03/18/2007, 04:41 PM

Soft corals prefer Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, IMO.

davocean · 03/18/2007, 05:00 PM

Yeah, I saw that exp in school too!
So of course I ran home to do it myself.
1 shot of vodka in my 20g fresh, yep, fish get drunk!
So like a junior alky of course 2 shots will be twice as good right!?
Fish died.
This would not be the last time I wished I stopped at one shot!LOL
One beer in a 75, shouldn't be a big problem.
I'd do a WC

So true and SPS prefer the harder stuff.

crhis · 03/18/2007, 05:22 PM

good thing it wasn't cors liht or mikelob or even worse ginis...

Snowboarda42 · 03/18/2007, 05:22 PM

Most fish are lightweights (are done after one shot)

I'd stay away from Hefeweizen in the tank, since its unfiltered it'll make your water cloudy

manofcoral · 03/18/2007, 05:27 PM

Hint: sit down when you drink. Party on Garth.

Young Frankenstein · 03/18/2007, 06:41 PM

All corals and fish finally fine after a big water change....... Ouaoooo but why are the hermit crabs all together on top of a rock moving around like little mad devils?

redrider911 · 03/18/2007, 07:28 PM

......and the next day I had a lot of baby fish swimming around!!

rodgod20 · 03/18/2007, 07:33 PM

excuse me....but I thought you were a clownfish?

SaltyDr · 03/18/2007, 07:35 PM

Hey, I know people who dose vodka in their tanks but beer? Actually might help a little with nitrates! Great to hear that everything is fine.
