Missing scooter blenny (returns)

[ReefDiver]

I've had a scooter blenny for about 10 months. About 3 weeks

ago the blenny disappeared, I figured he died and the cleanup

crew took care of him.

 

After arriving home from work today I noticed something moving

in the chaeto in my CPR aquafuge. There was the blenny feasting

on pods in the fuge . He must have swam up the output tube from

the aquafuge.

 

What a relief, he was my first fish and was very entertaining,

nice to have him back.

I had a scooter in my 120 and I think he decimated the tank of pods and ended up starving. I had such a bad algae problem at the time I couldn't concentrate on pods. I've got a fuge now, but it isn't producing pods like I want, but I don't have any pod dependant fish in that tank either.

 

I've got a dedicated 20L pod farm which is teeming with pods and mysid shrimp. I rotate rocks about every other week or so from the farm into the display tank.

My refugium is loaded with chaeto, I prune it every month.

My water top of feeds into the fuge and overflow chamber

pumps pods into the tank when the water is topped off.

I also feed the fuge small amounts of marine snow and

DT's phyto to encourage pod production.

 

I have had virtually no problems with algae and my nitrates have

been at 0 since since I installed the fuge right after setting

up my tank a year ago.
