Vortech MP40 Claims Life

[whatcaneyedo]

Crap. Does the Vortech stop briefly on that mode allowing fish to swim inside? I recently set up to Tunzes as a wave maker but I just have them go from 30-60% because I'm afraid if I let them stop completely my tailspot blenny will swim inside.

Healthy fish will not get killed by the powerhead.

...fish will not swim inside a moving power head.

Unless your tank is really that bad and they are trying to commit suicide .....(kidding)

Agree most of the time...have seen the odd accident though.

... not to mention, they make quite the anemone puree (speaking from experience).

To elaborate on the story. The coral that the hawkfish lived in was moved to the other side of my tank where a purple dottyback hangs out. He constantly would take swipes at the hawk. I witnessed him do it this time and the hawk darted right in to the pump. My own fault, I forgot about that stupid dottyback. Had I known that would happen I would have left the acro where it was at a much lower part of the tank. I thought it would like to be closer to my lights. The fish was healthy.
