I would venture to guess that not to many peeps actually have a tuskfish......
maybe you could try a long piece of pvc and a compressor to get food to the tank without freaking Sydney out  .......

Oh it would freak him out alright, but prolly not as much as the wifey! Poor girl has nightmares of demon-like compressor hoses chasing her around the house.

A NEAR DISASTER!
Leaving on vacation tomorrow and won't be back for 16 days, so I just did a water change on all 3 tanks. Mixed up 75 gals of SW and started on the 90g first. Had about 15 gals of the new SW into the tank when I noticed the two clams were closing up and some of the corals were starting to slime up. Uh Oh! Checked the temp on the tank: 74F! Stuck my hand in the new water and it was ice cold. The heater in the mixing container must have failed. I keep the container in the garage which is at about 60F. Tank temp dropped 4 degrees in five minutes! No wonder the inverts looked ****y! I always check the temp and salinity before water changes, but forgot to this time. IDIOT! Slowly raised the temp back to 78 and everything appears to be okay. Clams have re-opened and corals stopped sliming. Whew! Too close for comfort.

Must be something in the air, my routine sump cleaning yesterday turned into a 14 hour day for me, just about everything that could go wrong did and everything that could break did, end result both my tank and myself are looking real tired and I leave tomorrow for a week, wonder what's going to happen while I'm gone? Enjoy Mexico, 2 weeks sounds nice.

With sadness & relief, I've decided to shut down the corner tank. It has served me well for 41/2 years but it is time to go down to one tank. I am now in the process of moving some corals, fish, and rock over to the 225g. The rest of the livestock will be sold or given away to good homes.
