Probably not the pump, a healthy naso can out swim a powerhead. Usually near death before he hit the pump.

I agree with Aquattro... Fish can easily stay away from the most powerful powerheads we all use. If he was stuck to the side, most likely he was already floating somewhat upside down, or on his way out.

sorry to hear, I also have one, very beautiful fish.

+1 the fish was probably already dead or near being dead. What size of tank is that? They need a very large tank, like 180 gallons minimum.

Tank is 90 Gal.. Gold Aquarium told me no problem on that size of tank.
I waited almost 2 months before I could pick him up as they keep them there until they feel they are ready to go.
Very dissappointed.. really liked that fish
Will not be adding anything new for a while now.. Just getting my Radion Leds setup this weekend.
