Hi Brian

I tried the stinky water trap last night. Put the stinky shrimp in a trap (actually used an AquaMedic Trapest). 1 1/2 hours after lights out and I was there with my red flashlight and turkey baster squirting the stinky water in. Waited for about half an hour but saw nothing. This morning the trap was empty.

I'll try again tonight (and by now the water is incredibly stinky!).

You'll probably say that I'm not waiting for long enough but the fact is I just can't be up all night watching a fish tank. This fish tank has been an all-consuming thing for me over the past few months. Everything else has suffered (even my job) because of all the time I've spent on it. After all that time and money spent I face a problem with only difficult and more time-consuming treatments. You'll probably guess that I'm really losing heart.

Even that crab that I've cornered in a piece of live rock just isn't playing ball. He just won't come out and squirting RO water at him had absolutely no effect apart from making him go even deeper.
