That sucks man....I've had a few jump as well

It happens when the lights turn on or off…..the sudden change scare the fish and he jumps out of panic. Try turning the light gradually

I wish I could dim my mh lights then I could bring the lights on and off slowly

Thanks for the advice but you cant get more control over lights than the illumina. I have a sunrise and sunset with moon over night so I know that wasnt the issue. I guess we will never really know what makes them do it!

Oh that’s so cool….always wanted one…..

I just remembered that some of them have any issue with ALK change….did you add any buffer of any additive prior to the suicide?

AquaticFinatic 03-29-2011 11:14 PM

nope no additions of any kind.
