Not my fish, but there are a dozen or so videos on YouTube of barking clowns. You ought to hear the hell that a Moo will raise in a tank, the big ones will scare the ever loving shit out of you if you forget they're in there. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

She clicks. She tries to attack me. I try flick her if she gets to close 3 1 Quote Link to comment

He had so much left to live for... 😥 Not much to be done about that though. You'd think that fish would do a better job of staying inside of the water, but this seems to happen periodically to literally everyone. You have my condolences. 😔 4 Quote Link to comment

That's like how I found that little guttata goby the other day that Altuve chased out of the tank. And I'd thought he was big enough not to fit through the cracks. Wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Blennies and gobies are bad for slipping through the tiniest of cracks. Flashing gobies are REALLY bad for it, they'll actually dislodge a top if they get spooked because they're so big. 3 Quote Link to comment

MainelyReefer Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Sorry about your fish @WV Reefer I’m about to start a 12g long what kind of lid are you running on yours? I’m thinking of going glass 1 Quote Link to comment

I’m thinking of going glass I do not have a lid. The two lights sit on the rim of the tank and normally act as a barrier to jumpers......That GBG was so teeny it slid right through. glass would be nice depending on the set up. What other plans? 1 Quote Link to comment

A 2 bulb t5(scored it for 69$ on Amazon) and cheaping out and using nano koralias and a smart wave controller I’ve had laying around. Taking a page out of your book and going filterless! But with rambunctious kids I’m thinking a lid is needed, plus the T5 says don’t use on aquariums without lids. How high do you run your MP10s? Wondering if I should get the Koralia 425gph or 565gph. Thinking a 240gph would be too small. No extravagant plans for livestock just overflow from my other tanks. Definitely going to be reading some of your thread to glean valuable info. 2 Quote Link to comment

I just like the cords being out of the tank. 😄 The flow is the hardest thing to deal with because of the length but the 425 or 565 would work depending on what’s in there. 3 Quote Link to comment

Thanks...I thought the last FTS I saw only had one...but i swore you had 2 as your post to Granite eluded to. I’m getting old and my memory is fading. I guess I could click back and look but just thought to ask instead. This is still one of my fav tanks on NR! Btw...I think the cup coral looks good in the 75. Was amazed you got it out in one piece. 1 Quote Link to comment
