Help! I just got home from work to find half of my BTA stuck to my Powerhead and the water was a little cloudy. I immediately removed the part stuck to the PH. By the time I got back to the tank the water was mostly clear. I changed the filter sock and immediately started mixing water (ugh! Just did a 30 gal water change last night!!). So my questions are:
1. The filer sock was not dirty...so I'm wondering where did the rest of the little guy go?? Skimmer is skimming but nothing way out of the ordinary. Is it possible my fish ate it...and if so:
2. Should I freak out and start saying my fishy prayers if they did eat it?
3. What now?
So here are my specifics:
220 gal reef tank
Razor Led lights (3 160s..typing on my phone so I can't search the rest of the description on these and can't remember...but they are the bomb!)
2 Jeabo WP40 Powerheads (apparently like to eat BTA)
Reef Octopus skimmer (2000 INT)
55(ish) gallon sump with refugium
Water chemistry is ammonia 0, nitrate 5, phosphate 0, calcium 410 (all of that was before the water change last night) I checked ammonia and nitrate since the BTA exploded and it is still the same.
