|  Not looking good
Bad news: Poon the Tang is not looking good! As most of you will recall he got ick during the trip home from the lfs and got sucked to the mj mod. I turned it off for a couple days then fired it back up with the smaller propeller and he seemed to be doing pretty good with daily flake+garlic feedings. Well tonight I just noticed he has marks on both sides of him with flesh hanging off. He was breathing real hard and finding low flow spots to chill, then I looked away for 5 min. and he has been nowhere to be seen since. My best guess is one of the 2 emeralds got ahold of him or he might have somehow been sucked into the mod and thrown through the impeller? All I know is that I probably won't get a fish as small as him anytime soon, he was smaller than a quarter. I'll hope for the best and will let everyone know what comes about... _________ 55 gallon slowly growing reef aquarium, 85 lbs. live rock, 2 1/2" sandbed, 1 False Percula Clown, 1 Sixline Wrasse, 1 Mandarin Goby, Tetratec PF500 filter, 2 110 watt URI Super Actinic VHO actinics, 2 250 watt metal halides with Reef Optix 2 reflectors powered by Blue Wave 3 ballast, born 1/3/08 My Tank Thread My Tank Video  |
