What you have going on in the tank is not enough bacteria and/or macroalgae to process the ammonia being produced by some factor(s). In earlier posts, you say you have just moved the contents of a...

Not to worry :smile: Chris has a pretty good knowledge of electrical stuff. He assures me that the GFIs our tanks are plugged into are grounded.

EE,

I don't think fish have memories either. I think it is hardwired into their brains that they require so much room to live comfortably. Call it a range or territory, depending on the species...

I've got a 120g, 4'x2'x2, not for sale btw, and I think it would be too small for a tang. JMO, though.

A wire brush will take off stuff the you will still like to have on the LR, such as coralline, and may not get to the bases of these snails. I would still go at each snail on each rock one at a time...

Michael,

How high was your ammonia? How low was your salinity? Could both ammonia and low salinity have caused your fish death?

Dang!! Sorry to hear about your troubles :frown:

Test your source water for ammonia. I...

Tamara,

Thanks for the link. We have all our tanks on GFI outlets, so if the problem was electrical, the tank would have shut down.

Re: What the #$#%@

I think the arrow crab got them. They have a reputation of being predators from what I've read. May not have eaten them both, but have them tucked away somewhere in the rock for the next meal :sad:

Doug,

My three tanks are BB, so I don't think hydrogen sulphide would have played a role.

Any other thoughts?
