Unplugged the heater like @horseplay suggested. I keep the room at around 76- the tanks stay around 80 between the lights, pumps etc- the heater is a ceramic one. didn't think it could be the culprit when it's off most of the time- I got 16" rubber gloves and wear rubber soled shoes now lol
This guy belongs in a tank with some more aggressive fish than I have in my 40- had it for over 6 months. I'm going to try one of the DYI fish traps in the next few days- I can hold it in my 13g for a while
I moved an Evo from one room to another that was running for about 6 months- kept the sand and had a major cyano problem- dump the sand- a 20 lb bag of live sand is under $20

Replaced the return pumps- very noisy and really didn't fit the chambers with 2 Vivosun 210gph pumps- very quiet but I still have to keep an eye on the water level- still low in both return chambers. Am cycling the tank now- used Dr Tim's 1 and only and against recommendations by you guys, I...
