How many gallons of growbed/media do you have? Are you running an air pump? What size are your fish?

I am not sure how many gallons of grow bed media I have.My fish are almost 8weeks old and 4-5 inches.They seem very health and are eating well,but still 8-10 have died in the last 2-3 weeks.
Thanks Again,
Mark
