Carey, the CUC is about 25 hermits, now down to 15-20 baja snails and 25 margarita snails. I have a 20 gallon sump with my reef octopus skimmer in it. I do check the sump when fish go missing like this. I have glass tops, but have still checked the floor around the tank for jumpers. and I do...

Oh and I also lost one female anthias, and 2 peppermint shrimp. For further clarification, out of all of these that have gone, the smaller fish, (with the exception of my latest chromis that was about 2 1/2" long) one molly, the firefish, the anthias, the cleaner wrasse, one small chromis are...

I have heard some on occasion. That is why I wondered about the mantis. After I spent one night up until 3 am, trying to catch what I thought was the mantis, it turned out to just be a crab, and since then, I haven't really noticed the clicking. One night my GF did witness one of the larger...

it is a 75g, and I think I have @ 35 lbs of LR

Over the past 8 months I have lost many fish, and a lot of them disappeared without a trace. Lost fish include: 2 molly's, 1 firefish, 1 cleaner wrasse, 1 yellow tang, 1 sleeper goby, 1 blue hippo, 4 blue-green chromis, and 6 banggais, 5 turbo snails and many small snails from my cuc. Out of...

Thanks for the nice comments. Here is a pic of the jelly looking stuff, and a full tank pic.

Aiptasia X works great.

So late last week we decided to take the ray back to the lfs to see if everybody in the tank quit stressing and disappearing. everyone seems to be much more relaxed. They all chase one another around the tank, and don't seem to be watching out to see where the ray is at. The picture attached is...

Our tank has been going for 7 months. It was set up using water, lr, and sand from the lfs, directly from his coral tanks. We have 7 hermits, 5 turbo snails and 3 nacisus (sp) snails. I did test water, it all looked good.

Bubble tip, yes. As far as feeding, we feed the equivalent of a half a cube of frozen food, a clip of seaweed, diced up frozen squid for the ray and a piece of frozen shrimp for the bta, and some if the sinking pellets every other day, and seaweed everyday for them to graze on.

I am looking for some answers it ideas as to where my fish keep going to. The only 2 things that I feel could be the culprits are either my cortez ray or my bta. So far I have lost are 2 banggais, 2 mollys, a fire fish, a gold headed sleeper goby, a female anthias, and a blue hippo. Out if all...

I thank the developers of the app for the forum, and would really enjoy and be happy to purchase an Android (in my case, incredible) app. The aquaplanner app sounds awesome.

I hope this hasn't been answered here 1000x but I didn't know how to search to see if it had. I would like to get an identification on the blue anenome or soft coral that is pictured on the home page of aquacave? Thank you.

Thank you Kurt for your replies. I will hold off on getting a controller for awhile, and will continue learning how to manage my tank.

I appreciate your 2 cents Kurt. Thank you very much, I will follow your suggestions. Thank you for bringing it to my attention that I was being lazy, and trying to use technology to get around hard work.
