I seem to have lost all of my pods and bristle worms...a few months ago, the tank was crawling with them and I often spent hours after the lights were out watching all kinds of pods and worms come out of the sand and rock. Now nothing!
I am not sure what I could have done to kill it all off? I have been battling hair algea and have been making headway on it with a phosphate reactor so perhaps it is the dying algea that reduced the O2 levels or something? The first are doing fine. Cleaner shrimp is fine. Urchin is fine. The Turbos seemed to dye after a week but the astreas are mowing algea like crazy.
I hate learning at the expense of creatures in the tank.
Thoughts?
