my first loss
Well...yesterday I lost one of my emerald crabs. Not sure why, but he was the biggest of the 3. Everything else is doing fine. My nitrates are just a little high but everyone knows that I have been fighting them forever now. HOPEFULLY that will be the only loss.

Hate to hear that Ray.
