I'd maybe investing in something to pull copper, just in case. Any issues with snails or hermits, etc?

I have two peppermint shrimp and an emerald crab that are fine, I saw a hermit a day or two ago. I am missing two mexican turbo snails (which might have set this all off), as for other misc snails I just realized that I haven't seen any in a long time...

ya the blue bucket is a 8 gal bucket and the greyish black one is a 20 gal bucket so they are bigger than they look in the pic. to give you an idea the mili in the second bucket pic was almost 20" accross.

Really sorry to read about your fishues Wayne......I dont think technically speaking you are having a crash, its more of an event.......I dont know what is worse......slowly losing stuff over a period of days or weeks, not being able to figure out whats going on.......or losing everything all at once, like Steve and myself......

how bout this one........

from this




to this.....in about 36 hours (thats a large coleman extreme cooler, about 5" deep)
