DeltaZ Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 i have a 14g biocube, i have bicolor blenny, royal gramma, rainford goby, and hiding for three days is hi-fin band goby. i have a cobalt aquatics mj900 return pump with IM aqua spin nozzle and a hydor koralia 425 gph powerhead pointing mostly up for water agitation. now, my problem is that when i turn on these devices the fish immediately hide under the rocks, none come out when pumps are on, as soon as i turn it off, they all come out and play. dumb fish don’t know i have the pumps for their benefit, OXYGEN!!!!. i turn off when feeding, and when i feel like they would like to come out. it’s on all night long though. any advice as to what i can do to have these on and have fish move around??? i have an order for the IM wavemaker 125-1200gph so maybe that will slow water movement a bit for them. any ideas as to what else i can do, do i have too much water movement in my tank that they can’t support???

Tamberav Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Maybe stray voltage? otherwise they should get over it. How long have you had them? Quote Link to comment
MrObscura Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 They probably just need to get used to it. The sudden burst from off to on is likely just spooking them. Quote Link to comment
DeltaZ Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 yeah i don’t think it’s stray voltage, i think it’s just that they probably just get scared, i think that i should just keep it on, hopefully they get use to it. Quote Link to comment
