The Tennis Pro Reefer
What is the average tank life of most inverts? I have lost 1 Midas Blenny (not invert), 1 fire shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 nassarius snail, tons of crocea, trochus(sp), turbo, astrea snails, and 4 of 6 blue legged hermits.
When I check my testing kits everything is fine.
Water changes done with water filter about every 1.5 weeks with a mix of Tropic Marin Pro and IO
Salinity is same as the ocean 35ppm
Protein Skimmer is doing its job
Filter is working
Had PhosBan Reactor working, but didn't do anything
only problem I see is hair algae that keeps fighting back. Also there are sometimes air bubbles surrounding the algae. I still get diatoms on the sand and glass. Phosphate materials and Silicate clear don't seem to do anything to help.
Only things I can think now are that maybe there is electricity getting them somehow, but corals, two clowns, flame angel, and Mandarin are ok.
Other possibility could be that I put my hands in the tank because the gloves can't pick things up well. I never wash my hands right before with soap, but maybe the effects of soap from a couple hours before has an effect.
What you guys think I should check for? It's getting frustrating
