    powerhead sucking up small fish?

    I had 2 small damsels that got sucked into the power head. So it is a possibility. However it would not hurt to check your water quality, and watch for other possible things.

    Help! Snails died and sand shifter star fish died

    sand sifter stars often starve to death after they rid your sand of all its critters. If your other inverts start to look ill, I would have your water more thuroughly tested. What kind of water are you using to put into your tank? Inverts are very sensitive to SG, and metals that could be in...
