Whenever we lose something like this, hopefully we will be able to learn from this pitfall. It is never a good experience to lose any sort of livestock...
If we are able to learn from our possible mistake(s), we will be better off in the future, and ultimately our tank and its inhabitants will as well. | |

Water suction diffusers for the inflow of water by powerheads is standard now, I thought...
Did it fall off your powerhead enabling your Sea Star to get sucked up?
Were you guys able to decipher the reasons behind why your fish had died? | |
