Lance that Beckett should be cleaning good on that tank. May be looking at having the skim mate more wet. to pull the crap out.

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

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