A tang can get sucked in by an MP40? Is this normal?
I'm looking at getting some MP65's.

I would think that the tang was in a weakened state,for whatever reason.....the two yellows Ive had seem to revel in swimming head-long into my mp40......cant see how a fish with that kinda strength could get sucked in????

The tank looks amazing as it is, but taking the scrolls out will free up a lot of space. However I do like the look of them and I imagine it will be hard to part with them since you've had them for awhile.

Yeah, the scrolls will hit the buy/sell fourm in a few days, its time.

This happened in my previous tank as well, the yellow tang would graze the side of the power head, and with a high volume of water being drawn in, and their circular body it can spell disaster.
IMO, even a healthy fish would have a hard time trying to free themself, if fully pinned.

so to prevent this from occuring again:

1. clean left hand exposed vortech more frequently

2. added a more central grazing spot

Hey everyone,

it was a good reef day today, I picked up a new coral, and Jay (reefcanada) dropped by to check out the tank and pick up a yellow scroll(thanks), I guess it was too big to fit in his SPS side project, so it made the 200 mixed reef., now i gotta see his tanks, this one piece euro sounds and looks dope.

And a few pics.

new coral from Red Coral pre-order thanks Kevin and Carmen
