 Re: unknown killer in my tank
its a 29gallon bio-cube, i set it up 1 1/2 to 2 months ago, started it with about 40lbs of aquacultured live rock, all pre-mixed sea water(no red sea salt), ph is good, ammonia is good, started doing weekly water changes a week ago(changing out about 2.2 gallons), i am probably a couple fish over my limit but i have a clown fish, a hawkfish, 2 chromis, a orange spotted goby, a firefish, a decorator crab, a brittle star, the usual hermit crabs, emerald crabs, snails and a bunch of different corals. a brittle star couldnt of eaten a big tang in an hour, i cant see the tang sitting there while a crab munched on him. i could swear the decorator crab was in plain site most of the time. it was really weird, it was all chewed up on the underside of its tail(severely). i just flushed it. the heater couldnt burn chew marks into it. oh yeah..there is also a horseshoe crab in there and i know it wasnt him cuz he only comes out like 2 times a day and swims around like a retard. i am having the worst luck with this tank. i cant stop looking at it everytime i sit on the couch, i just want the fish to surive more than an hour.
