Hello,
I am relatively new to reefing (110 gallon tank up for 6 months). Recently we had a momentary power outage and upon return of power a flood of leftover mysis shrimp entered the DT - it basically looks like a snowglobe in there. We had no indication that we had mysis shrimp sitting anywhere decaying in the tank as we spot feed the anenomes and have a clean up crew that should take care of any extra. My question is - where do you think the leftover mysis shrimp was gathering at? I have a shadow overflow into a emerald trigger system sump with 2 filter socks -->in-sump protein skimmer -->refugium, and then an additional baffle with mechanical filter that leads to a neptune return pump. The return pump then goes through 2 seperate return PVC piping with 2 check valves (1 on each) back to the tank. I am worried that I am going to start struggling with my water quality if the mysis shrimp are decaying somewhere in the tank. Thanks for any help you can provide!
