He's right, all those fishies will get more aggressive with age, especially the clown, then the blenny will get territorial, Pseudocheilinus are actually all suprisingly aggresive, my wrasse (same size as yours) will be eating my gobies and blennies in about a year. I think most likely firefish would get picked on, but it is possible If u can dream it u can do it Link to comment

devilsadvocate Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 got home from vacation... tank is a mess. the overflow stopped working somehow, draining ~23 gallons of water onto the floor. draining the sump. im not sure if any of the pumps burned out, i havnt tested yet. the tank is now running about 3 inches low with out a sump. ive gotta take about the overflow and see what the hell happened. and on top of that, algae is starting to grow. but there is good news, the coral and fish seem to be doing good.

eddiecorrea Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Dang. Major bummer. Time to upgrade the overflow to something with a syphon break. Glad everything seemed to make it thou. Link to comment
devilsadvocate Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 i have a gl#######s overflow. so i have no idea what happened. maybe a snail? the tank is only a couple months old so i don't see how else it could be clogged? Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 A what? All I'm seeing is gl#######s lol Link to comment

Singlefin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'd be curious to know how it overflowed. I have the 700gph. Do you have the coarse mesh filter material in there? Link to comment
devilsadvocate Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'd be curious to know how it overflowed. I have the 700gph. Do you have the coarse mesh filter material in there? on the intake? i did, but i that didnt do it. i took it off and it was clear. and if it was slowing the flow down why would it completely drain over night?

Singlefin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The snail guard material. Link to comment
Squared Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 how does the gl#######s overflow re start siphon? Link to comment
Singlefin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 No siphon. Just straight Flow down the drain. Link to comment
