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
