ok so it's just about how they pollinate flows... lame! Not the best metaphor if you ask me.

ahah I know what it's referring too... I just never knew what the parallel was specifically.

I thought it would be a little more exciting.

Yeah I never really got it either



I was however referring to corals spawning not people if you didn't figure that out already.

I only have the overflow box uncovered and the pump chamber but I'm still getting 1-2cups of evap a day. I kinda figured it'd be less than that

Every time I get a box fish I find him stuck to the gutter guard 2 days later... peal him off and he's good... for a day then I find him stuck to it all over again usually by the 4th day he's gone... I bought a bit bigger one this time so hopefully it'll go a bit better??

Any tips? Many people had success with these guys?

maybe try toning down the flow in the overflow box a bit,and adjust the return pump as needed.

doesn't that kind of boxfish get like 20 inches or something when they are adults?

Perhaps a larger U shaped gutterguard guard around the overflow? Prevent him from getting into the suction area
