can a 2.5" tang crash a 125g reef tank

[jkcrumb]

Hello all,
Unfortunatly my powder blue tank got cought up in the intake of one of my power heads and now has dissapeared. I really think that he may have died sometime today

. My question is, can this crash my 125g reef and fish tank if I cant find him???? I have 175lbs of liverock and it would be a nightmare to remove it all to TRY to locate him

I would say no if you have a clean up crew. I have lost fish bigger than that in my 125 and have not had a problem with my parameters. The unfortunate thing is that they usually go and hide so you never see tham again. Keep and eye on your params. though just in case.

Hermits could have it gone in a matter of hours to a couple days

a 6 inch tang would be no prob in that sized tank... with the propper CC it will take care of it in no time

While I agree that your clean up crew will take care of the carcass, you should still watch your ammonia to see if it goes up at all, just to be on the safe side. If you see more than .25 (some test kits always read a residual .25 reading) then do some water changing.
