Question

mass exodus with all lights on

today for no apparent reason about 30 of these guys started exiting the live rock and started going up the sides of the tank (185 gallon)

this is mid day with all lights on in the tank....
tanks readings are as they have been for years....

just strange why they al exited the l/r all the sudden...

i did add a small 6 line last week...

btw they are all abut 3" diameter...

any guesses ??

wiring

this time i can say yes
I had a powerhead causing isuues a few years ago so I did run a #4 ground to a a ground rod I put in just for the tank....

there are no electronics in contact with the water in the display and only a heater (glass encased) in an external sump ever directly touches water...

this morning all the b.s are back in the rock.....a truely strange occurence..
