Dead fish, missing anemone and nitrate spike

[shiver905]

I had a large maxi mini get caught in a return..

I did 75% water changes daily for 4 days.. and everything was fine.

Lost 2 sponges, 3 anemones, 10 snails, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 torch coral, 1 porcelain crab, and I'm sure a couple of other invertebrates.

Water is almost completely clear. Filter floss really helped.

So it looks like my lionfish is very much alive. Just the anemone was responsible for killing the above in the tank.

Careful with the filter floss in the overflow tubes. The last thing you want right now is a flood. I would advise you to use it in the sump or a HOB filter.

I know it sucks but nem's can cause a few issues when the move into area's they shouldn't. Watch the filter floss tough and as soon as the water is clear and your water spec's are where they should be, take it out. Just remember to put some sort of foam filtration over your intakes. Inside the tank power heads like Hydors and Maxi-jets can also give you grief as well. Nem's will always move to where they feel happy,so light and food play a big part in keeping them in one spot more or less, they can also get aggressive with each other, so watch out sometimes when you put them together. If you feed them regularly and they get enough light they probably wont move too much...
