Mike, I love my Beckett's! No issue there. I skim pretty wet. I empty a liter of dark greenish-brown skimmate from the waste collector every other day.

Five minutes ago while watching TV I heard a splash and a thump. Found Sydney the Tuskfish, laying on the floor behind the stand. Scooped him up and plopped him back in the tank. Other than being covered in dust he looks ok. Stupid fish!
That's the second jumper in less than 4 months. I cover the tank with egg crate during the night. I guess I'll have to cover it during the day as well.

I don't know man.... I would say that being there to hear the thud was probably the luckiest thing to happen to Lance in a while

Good save mang! Also good to hear he is ok.....albeit a little dusty

Good save! My candy hogfish did the same thing the other day. Sadly he wasn't so lucky though

Glad to hear you were there to make the save. I hate it when they suddenly decide to jump!

At least he gets a chance to revert to Harlequin Tuskfish instead of Harlequin Dustfish.

Hah! He looked like he'd been rolled in flour and was ready for the frying pan.

STUPID GBTA!!!!
It's never moved from it's spot in two years and grown to 15" across; happy as can be. All of a sudden it decides it wants to be somewhere else. And of course that somewhere else is right into the powerhead! Luckily, I came home when I did and turned off the pump before it got really ugly. Quite the mess with pieces of nem floating around the tank. I think it will be ok though, as it has since opened up again although a few tentacles are pretty mangled. The two Fire Clowns are avoiding it; almost like they know it's stressed and are giving it a rest. Wierd!
