Electrical Current

Sooo.. it's all come forward... the reason for the Tank Crash in June... why I can't keep anything alive... why I have so many problems with the tank... electrical current! Last Sunday we were doing a water change and Darren stuck his hand in the water and got a BAD shock! We shut everything down and found the heater was cracked. So it's probably been cracked for a while, sending small (maybe too small to be felt by me) electrical currents into the water and finally the new water change cracked it the rest of the way.

Good news? Nothing except 1 crab and all my pods died... things are going a lot smoother now and at least there's an explanation to why I've had so many problems.


Here's my Xenia... I epoxy'd him to a rock so the crabs would stop knocking him over. He's turned at a weird angle from before but he's happy as ever, pulsing away.



Here's a quandry... I was scrubbing algae off of my bi-vavle and dropped the toothbrush and now I can't reach it... hrm.... well here are my ever growing orange Zoos.



Dang my mushroom must have found something WAY yummy to eat! He shut up tight while he ate.



All done eating...



Another "thing" growing in the tank... not a clue what it is.



Tank shot! I moved some rocks around today... I'm starting to like my rock work finally. Butterfly has adopted a hole in the purple rock as his new home and he loves it! He's always hiding in there now.
