    Better skimmer, happier fish?

    I've just replaced my Red Sea skimmer with an AquaC Remora and within 3 days I have noticed increased activity in my fish.

    Orkin Man Coming!?!?!?!

    I have the Orkin man coming tomorrow. Any advice for the fish tank? Should I cover with saran wrap or a towel? The Orkin man should tell me more tomorrow prior to his start, but I wanted to get some input. They will be spraying on the baseboards of the house.

    Dead fish advice

    Looks like I have a missing (potentially dead fish) on my hands. Its been missing for 2 days - so its not looking good.
