So, I havn't been able to find my LTA in over a month!! This morning, Reena tells me that our Banggai is dead now. No signs of ill, he was eating fine, not botherred by any other fish, not even the Tang's. And I got to thinking. Wonder if Anenome is nuking tank? So, Reena tried to find him, but she can't lift most of the rock I have in the tank. There's some pretty large pieces.

Am I looking at total tank meltdown before I get home in a week??

check your ammonia in the tank. Doubt it would be the nem though

Maybe check the powerheads. We have lost many to them.

fish eaten by Nem then Nem eaten by crabs, I can not see how you would not see if a Nem was hacked up by a power head. I had one get hack a few years ago and I found pieces all over the tank and then there was the really fowl smalling skim mate.

Did you putthem in a bucket when you moved your tank for the reno?

Ya no Ammonia tester... Reena's calling in Mom to take one more stab at the tank because there is 3 fish not accounted for, and a Nem!

BUT, My clam, who has been closed up and on the brink of death for a month, she says hes full open and looks much better lately???

Nem eating fish in the back of the tank. OR maybe it a crab I told you guys to put them in your sump!!!!

by the way I found a crab last night having a snack on a orange monti digi. looks good on a kabo stick.

Hey Dan go find it

So, Wife tore whole tank apart, apparently 160lbs of LR is sitting on my living room floor in buckets. 3 fish and a LTA Gone!!! No powerheads, No crabs. and everything was there 2 months ago when I tore down to redo my floor's.

Oh, no powerheads, only a CL, with eggcrate grills on the intakes so they cant get sucked in, and pump has maintained flow, no losses. Overflow is a coast to coast and it's only 6" deep, and visible from front, nothing in there either....

Somethign is REALLLY up here.

Mike, I would, but I am in camp for another 7 days

I know they just can't vanish. Tanks eurobraced so they shouldnt jump out, she looked behind anyways. Cant see Nem stuck in any rocks or whatnot. She checked, Pump inlet is still all covered with eggcrate. Rock has been apart a few times and theres no sand bed, so I doubt a large worm?
