well yesterday i lost a Margareta snail, it looks like he fell off the glass and i didnt get him in time, is there a certain a mount of time they can live before being flipped over. But this is not what i am writing about. I lost one of my green chromis between last night and this morning. He was stuck to the powerhead of a MJ 1200. The only thing i can think of is he got too close to the powerhead, all 3 of my chromis hang out by the powerhead at night. My full stocking list is.
2 O. Clowns
3 Chomis (now 2)
1 yellow watchman
8-10 hermits (blue)
8 Margareta Snails
1 Turbo Snail
various hitchhickers
i tested two days ago and today and my readings are
ammonia - 0
nitirite - 0
Nitrate - 15
PH - 8.0 - 8.1
Salinity - 1.023
I know my PH is a little low, but it has always been this way, all the fish listed above have been together for at least 2-3 weeks. Any ideas what could be. I think its just the powerehead, but not sure. As for the snail, should i leave him in there, the hermits are feasting on him b/c i think they want his shell, should i take him out. Fish was already removed.
TIA.
