Well we shall see what happens. Nightly tank check…cloudy water. Not seeing anything immensely out of place, I start checking powerheads as I have an ever-wandering BTA. Yep, you guessed it. BTA meet Koralia Nano:

It looks like it got about 1/2 way into the thing. All powerheads are now turned off on that side of the tank. I’m letting it walk out and will check everything in the morning. I’m hoping it doesn’t crash. I of course don’t have any carbon or anything other than a filter sock because I slack at that type of stuff. I do have about 10 gallons of RO ready. Was going to make more tomorrow

Oh no! I hope your BTA is OK (and of course your tank)!! What is with those guys trying to commit suicide?

So quick update. As of this morning the water is back to being clear. The anemone has made it about 1/2 way out. I don’t know if it can make it the rest of the way out on its own but I’m giving it as much time as it needs
