ugh...
And my yellow assessor was by far my most interactive fish... the tank seems to dull now comparatively speaking. It was the Rena auto feeder and it was attached by 3m velcro tape to my eurobace. I still can't figure out how it became detached from the velcro... If anything, I was worried about the glue on the velcro tape coming off but the velcro some became actually detached....? Also, I have now installed a grounding probe...lol Now it's frag shopping time I suppose... Also going to keep an eye out for a good deal on another yellow assessor...maybe try and get two or three this time around and introduce them all simultaneously

just some input
I was thinking about this when I was setting up my tank. I read some stories about autofeeders falling into tanks a few times. So one of the things that really intrigued me about using a mesh top was that I could feed through it. My pellets go right through the mesh and it has no chance of falling in if it ever fell. I also place the autofeeder above the light rack so i dont have to mess with it when Im opening the lid. you also cannot even tell its there unless you look for it or if you are really tall.

Jeez another crappy thread...sorry to hear about your losses! It is that time of year though...people move, people go on vacation, people are distracted away from the tank.
On a sidenote, I see you had a Yellow and a Blue Assessor together? How did they get on together? Were they added at the same time or different times? Theoretically they shouldn't get along, but I currently have a Blue and would love to add a Yellow.

sorry about your tank. So much work goes into this hobby and to come home to that would be horrible.

Though I tend to only take first hand acccounts from aquarists into consideration of in tank aggression so maybe popular research opines differently. I can attest to both my blue and my yellow never showing any aggression to each oother or any of the other conspecific basslets in my tank, so maybe I'm just lucky. The yellow (about half the size of the blue) was added about a year before the blue one so strictly speaking from my experience you should have no issues at all adding a second assessor. I guess theoretically, my 4 grammas shouldn't get along either though... The blue is much more cryptic while the yellow is very interactive and swims upside down in the open water which (Milad) is why I liked it so much. Last edited by gobytron; 07-13-2010 at 03:08 PM.

When I looked into the tank, there was like a half inch of film algae and the water was so cloudy you couldn't see more than a half a foot through it. I thought it would be a total wipe out, plus it took me three days to make 200gallons of fresh sw so I had really almost given up on everything by the time I cleared away the film algae just before the third water change... I couldn't believe it when everyone was still kicking other than the yellow assessor, all sps, 2 clams and most lps plus all of my zoas and shrooms looking like they were hung over. I almost feel lucky after thinking it was a total loss.
