    My bta was doing great then all of the sudden its been acting weird.. First off it was not affected at all by the problems I was having a few weeks ago but now that everything is back in line its been moving around like crazy ( all on the same rock ) and has been really really small, I mean like about the size of 1/2 dollar and looks like its mouth it coming out and looks real weird.. Mainly at night is when its mouth looks like that.. Ive been feeding it about once a week with krill and the last time I fed it is when it started acting like this..
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Adam,
    Based on the test kit thread from about a month ago it looks like you are on top of the tests. Something easily overlooked that may be bothering your BTA is salinity. With the hot weather the evap tends to be higher this time of year and ato's may allow a bit more swing durring peak evap times depending on your setup. Also try and calibrate whatever you are using to test salinity.
    I know that I look right past the easy stuff sometimes.
    Your BTA is showing typical signs of stress though. Have you changed waterflow recently direction or rate?
    Good luck!

    Russ - thanks for the input. I did check my salinity and its ok. And no all pumps are the same..

    Sponge - Thats some good reading..

    I dont think this little guy is gonna make it, he is so small right now and hiding under a rock, it dont look good..
