Unhappy A Sad Day
I couldnt find my Solarensis at feeding time today....I found him behind the tank. He must have jumped out during the day, I thought I had the top covered enough...We had the pleasure of raising him for a year and a half....a beautiful and interesting fish. A pic of him and the Regal. My icon is also him

Sorry to hear. . . they are such a beautiful fish with a great personality. I too lost one to a jump. They are great fish and a wonderful addition to a reef tank.

Thanks...He cheated death twice before by jumping out during feeding. I opened up the hood and went to get the food, I just about stepped on him when I came back!

Do you not have some sort of cover on your tank?

Eggcrate work well, it allows the majority of the light out, but keeps *most* fish in.

Is there something better? I would prefer to add more lights for the corals than to risk losing so many fish, I lost many to jumping before I covered my tank, so sad.
