Why no try building one of those nearly clear mesh tops from reefcentral? Would be a lot less hassle than having to put the screen on everytime you leave.

Nah, I just dont like them. Its no big deal for me. I get into routines very easily. I don't see it as a hassle at all.

When I looked into the clear mesh in the past, I also couldn't find it anywhere.

EDIT: Although I guess making it out of the clear mesh would be great as long as its still easily removable. Same idea but may as well use the clear mesh if I can find it somewhere.

[quote=GreenSpottedPuffer;396836]Pretty sad night...almost. Got home from the hockey game tonight to find my Harlequin Tusk on the ground! I knew right away it couldn't have been too long since he was flipping around a bit and in a puddle of water. I grabbed him and dropped him back into the tank--within 10 seconds he was begging for food.


Holy Crap! Lucky or what? What could have been a disaster was in reality a pretty good night for you: Tuskfish OK, 'Nucks beat the Sharks, nitrates at 0, corals looking good. Must have been the "Lucky 7" in the date yesterday. Don't push it though, get that cover built!

No, he is fine when the first one goes off. Its the second one that freaks him out.

Yeah I guess it was a good evening. Its been a while since nitrates were 0. Corals are looking either great or still terrible actually. I should have mentioned that a few that browned seem to be staying brown.

Apparently I had a mantis or pistol shrimp in the tank and my tusk found it. He was kind of parading it around in his mouth this morning. Occasionally bashing its head on the rocks. By the time I got the camera though, it was eaten. I don't know where the shell went though--maybe he ate that too! I was only able to grab one of the legs. It was very big.

Blue legs with purple stripes. The one leg I removed from the tank must be 3/4".
