I will mention this although have never seen it.
Twice my son has seen something red colored coming in/out...
Phyl,
Wish I knew what was eating/killing the snails. No crabs or large shrimps to my knowledge. I have a brittle start that is black and gold colored. Hides in the rocks and only sticks out arms when I feed the tank. Very hard to get a pic but will try.
I have a 36" T5 light fixture. Bulbs do need to be replaced as they are a 1yr old. Snails... a good question. I can't even keep them alive. No matter how many I put in the DT they don't last. I have a bunch of baby snails in the sump and have been adding them to the display.
My last dose of anything was Tuesday. I am still waiting for my test kit so all I have to measure is:
Ammonia - 0 - same
Nitrate - 15/20ppm - same
Nitrate - 0 - same
Cal - 340 - slight increase
SG - 1.024
Temp - 78
There is LFS Chain I go to occasionally. The tanks are horrible and the poor fish are always sick. This is for SW and FW. I find it disgraceful but they don't care. I just look and don't buy anything not even crickets. I buy them at a closer LFS. Have seen many sick reptiles also. I complained...
Funny Phil. The 75g is up a year and a half and hasn't stabilized. I did better with the 55g using a canister filter and HOB skimmer. My patience is reaching it's limit.
