Just curious - shouldn't your ATO have kept your sump water level constant? It's probably a good thing that's not what happened because as you pointed out, there's only so much water your display can handle before it ends up on the floor.

Anyways... I'm glad it wasn't worse - and yes - Eheims are industructable.

My ATO set-up runs to the 225g and not this tank. This tank has the sump outside and is not really accessible for the water line. I feed the FW to this sump by gravity feed from a 5 gal reservoir using an HIV drip. A slow drip from 3pm when I get home from work to about 8pm is about right. The tank is covered and does not evaporate much.

Had the camera out to video the Fire Clowns spawning, (feel kind of like a voyeur :redface:) and while I had it out took a vid of each tank.

Great vids Lance! I gotta try that! :biggrin:

Looks great, Lance.:smile:

We get it Lance...massive organ you got there. I was trying to snack here when that was sorta forced upon me with the zoom action.

Also... NICE VIDS.

Nice video Lance. That nem is getting huge.

Good thing it wasn't in 3D.



Yeah he's a big one Darren. It moved 6" while I was on vacation and stung the crap out of my large Pocci colony. The thing hasn't moved in 6 months and decides to while I'm away. Grrrr!

Why would a Squamosa taste better than a Crocea?
The Crocea has been in the tank for 2 years and the fish have shown no interest in it. Put a Squammy in and they are all over it. Foxface, Juvi Chocolate Tang and Coral Beauty are all taking turns pecking at it. Poor clam is shut more than closed. Time to get out the strawberry basket, except I couldn't find it and had to make a cage out of egg crate. Stupid fish! Grrrrr!

Is he new? I think new clams are just stressed from the move and stressed clams smell like food apparently. I've had this happen with new clams that the fish were all over it for the first day but it got all better afterwards. If they are really picking at it yeah put the basket over top so that they can't but after a day or two it should just be "yet another clam, same as the others" to them.
