manoj.. hey.. how long since you got the aro.. how big and what are the tank mates? can you please put up pics.. prob the aro is spooked out and hiding.. this is common.. give it sometime to get used to the new environment.. if you switch off the tank lights at night.. leave a small night lamp glowing in the room.. this helps..

We need your parameters in order to properly ascertain what is wrong.

i meant not to switch off the lights at night.. when you switch off the rtc will goto work.. my rtc usually moves around at night though there is small lamp in the room.. prob that is bothering the aro.. but for now also check on the water param and report..

i have never used any so far and things went fine since7-8 yrs with my fish
