So sorry to hear a out the triggers, I always take a fish loss very personal even those times when it's out of our control :-( (I just lost a fish out of my own stupidity (uncovered pump intake), still mad at myself)

Any warning on the SpeedWave failure or did it just stop? I've heard of a few failures on RC as well, wondering if there is a common problem? I was thinking of getting a couple of the Waveline 12000 or 20000 (if they ever release them) not so sure now.

No warning, just died while I was sitting nearby the tank. Its unfortunate because I actually like the pump, however when I replace it it'll be going on a different 4-way return.

FTS for July 2013


Ugh, saw an unhappy small maxima this afternoon and picked it up, and these were on it.



I removed these two and inspected the other 6 clams, these were the only ones found. Image search agrees they seem to be pyramid snails. My bad luck run agrees, its probably another nasty annoying thing to deal with. Today I somewhat dislike this hobby. So all I haven't hit on is flood or fire. Please please please don't let it be either of those next.

Seriously bummed about the triggers.

As for the pyramids - manual removal will deal with it. Also, what wrasses do you have? You might want to consider a canary aka yellow coris or a radiant wrasse..

sorry about your fish that's terrible news. the video really shows how sweet your scape is. fill that rock with coral and it's going to be breath-taking.
