I have a 70 gallon tank filtered with a Emperor 400, and a wet/dry system that is rated for a 125 gallon tank. My ammonia is 0, Nitrites 0, ph 8.4, Nitrates .5 ppm and temp 76F...

In the tank I have 3 Firefish, 2 Green Chromis, and three cleaner shrimp.

The Seapen was fine all up until I noticed it has been "deflated" for two days. upon looking at it I noticed that the stem part at the bottom was ripped open and oozing... I promptly netted it and inspected it in a bucket. While netting it the feeler things were falling off.

I am very upset by this, as I liked the Seapen. Any ideas what caused it to die? Would the shimps damage it like that?

I am clueless.

Thanks.
