Ive had my heater on 79 and my tank stays consistent 80-82. I had to turn it down cuz it was getting too hot. I dont keep the AC on when im not home so i had no choice. I wouldnt turn the heater completely off. Try and lower the temp setting on it.

I have 1 emerald crab, 5 nassarius snails, 8 turbo/astrea snails, 10 blue leg hermits, 1 feather duster, 1 mexican turbo snail

I havent seen my cleaner shrimp for about 3 days. Hes always in this little cave hanging out and now he is no where to be found. Im a little worried that he might be dead. He molted last week so i dont think hes molting again. Hes been missing since a put in a new emerald crab which from what i...

First one is still alive. He got BIG. This one isnt moving at all. Hes like dead i dunno. I took him out and i have him in a bag with water from my tank. Should i put him back in?? Also there was absolutely no movement from him.

This sucks. I just bought an emerald crab yesterday and today it died. I found him dead on the sand. I acclimated him the same way as the first one. He was a little discolored. His body was white and his legs were green. Its going back to the LFS tomm.

just bumping this up to get some more opinions

I even tried to hand feed him some food and hes scared to come and get it. :confused:

I agree. After a 6 of Corona it looks much better

Does anyone else's cleaner shrimps hide alot or is it just mine? Seems like he hasnt ventured to the other side of my tank yet. I know exactly where to find him everytime. He hides in this cave all the time and doesnt come out much. Is this normal?

I just put one in my tank on a piece of LR and it hasnt left it for 3 hours. He is alive cuz i see the rock is getting cleaned up nicely

If you have some carbon for filtration i would run it. It will help clear it up faster. As for the fish i think they will be ok. But you may have kicked off a mini cycle. Check your parameters.

Originally Posted by Snipe Could be what was mentiond above. Well ive added more flow with another PH. I dont feed anything cuz all thats in there is a clean up crew and my lights are only 3 months old. I guess ill try the Salifert tests and see whats up. Thanks.

Im using RO water for top offs and water changes. My initial fill was tap water.
