Damn as if talking about the cleaner shrimp dying wasn't enough, now this! The neon blue goby that was very healthy and eating just fine, the other day has disapeared. Those guys are so small so its hard to say. I checked chambers 1, 2, and 3 for it, but haven't spotted anything. Either it jumped back there, or it got attacked or died in the jbj 12.
Although water checks out again as okay, I'm having Sandra do a massive water change tomorrow. I think 50 percent, and see what the deal is. I know the test kits are new, one i bought, and the other I won here. both saying great positive results. The only problem again is that cyano backteria/red slime. It's causing those stupid bubbles and irratating the zoos. I have two pumps running in there, one that's the upgraded pump, and the other is the pump that came out of my jbj 6, I put in the 12 as an extra. Flow showing nice. The only thing that it started acting this way was introducing the chemi-clean product. It did wonders before, but this time around I notice two deaths this week? The product says it's reef safe on everything, so I wonder....what if one of the fish or the shrimp attempted to eat it and it croaked? It does spit through the pump and sometimes you see the white bits.......
The other theory is the emerald crab.....but he hasn't grown or molted since he was purchased. I hate to put the blame on the booger and although I haven't caught him in the act of attacking.....it's hard to say. I'm puzzled, so I am going with having to do a water change, and keep doing big water changes until that bubble crap leaves the tank.
