Oh wow... I used to have a firefish that liked to jump into the back chambers of my AIO. Was a real pain to get out lol.

That's crazy! Yeah, I should have gone for the 1/8" netting from BRS. For now, I'll just buy bigger fish.

Man, I was so sure this lid was going to prevent jumpers. Nope. This tiny yellow wrasse was small enough to torpedo through the 1/4" holes in the netting. Sad and frustrating considering the month-long observational QT I did on this guy. Oh well, lesson learned. I'm thinking of trying a...

The man himself! Thanks, good to know it's normal when splitting.

I see, thanks. It started shortly after I moved it to the current location. Maybe the difference in flow/par triggered it.

I'm interested. I had a lot of fun doing this last year. For anyone on the fence, it's a great way to connect with club members. You don't need to have the craziest tank with all of the latest named coral (I don't). You also don't need to spend hours cleaning your tank or organizing your cables...

Thanks hopefully that is the case! @RandyC have you seen this in your colony (mine came from yours)?

Added an Onyx Percula from the very generous @spuri87 to pair my male with. He lost his mate (a 15+ y/o female) recently to what I think was neurological disease :(. Time for the acclimation box again. The two clowns immediately showed curiosity in each other. After less than 5 minutes...

I'm also in South SJ and looking to pair my male (who lost his female of old age recently). DM sent!

The goal for this tank is to create a more "natural" reef tank, something closer to what you'd see in nature. Below is an example of what I want to recreate (taken from my BVI trip last year). Pastel color pallete and tons of biodiversity: Tank Started October 2025: My initial attempt! UNS...

This is what scares me about stuff like this, it kills people. We're basically putting toasters in bathtubs and relying on the manufacturers to protect us with enough insulation around the toaster. We've put too much faith in certain companies like hygger that are putting people at serious risk.
