problems
i have had no problems with my tank for the past 4 weeks but at the beginning of the week i noticed that my shrimp was stuck dead in the powerhead. This morning i found the same thing had happened to my cinnamon clown. What is going on?

Check your water parameters, if those are fine it might be something that is getting into the tank. Keep an eye on the other fish and see how he reacts, sometimes this can give you a good sense of what is happening in the tank.

The big mystery here is whether they were sick/dead before their bodies made it to the powerhead. I suspect they were in a weakened state due to disease or water conditions prior to getting stuck in the PH.
Please post your water parameters.

  Good point though. I thought my cleaner died until he walked out from behind the rocks. Freaky at first. |

yea i am sure that the shrimp is dead. It really sucks what happened to my clown tho it was so happy with the other one. My PH have covers over the intake but i think it is like alan said. I will check my water parameters when i get home and will post them. My water has been fine for a while. I hope i dont come home to find something else dead.
