This just in! Field correspondent "william bales" reports this latest
development!

butterfly died this evening I am about to switch this tank over to
freshwater and breed my oscars as I have about had it with expensive salt
fish and no help whatsoever from my local fish stores as all they have are
freshwater.

Sorry to hear. Do you have an option for another LFS? I know the only
one I trust is 60 miles away. (for salt) AND even there, I've gotten
different "advice" from different employees. It is an expensive hobby,
but there is one thing that I've been told, that I find to be true.
Once you get the tank "set" it is incredibly easy to maintain. It took
me over a year to get mine cycled, but now I look back at the spent $
and the time and the conflicting advice and I think it was worth it.

Good luck.
