Really like that turquoise millie and always like clams. Is all this stuff available on your website?

Nice selection of corals!!
Not sure if this was asked but are you running any zeo or carbon dosing?

Thanks, no I am not running any 'carbon dosing' or zeo in any of my systems. To be honest I just don't have time to keep up with it.

Just lost one of my pipefish to an MP60 yesterday

.
The pump started making a funny noise so I went to check it out and saw a white streak going round with the propeller and unfortunately it was one of my dragon pipes. It really got knocked around in there and was toast so since I believe in recycling I cut it up and fed it to the anemones & a few LPS. Not what I like to feed them but no point in flushing it.

that's terrible news sorry to hear it. to be honest i was a bit worried about that in my own tank but i think any type of powerhead could do the same thing. i wonder if it was weakened prior to getting sucked inside the powerhead?

Not sure why it would be weaked? I think it was 'hunting' for food a bit too close. Those power heads are really powerful and I assume it may have seen a pod around it and BAM - in it goes for a wild ride.

That sucks, I was always afraid of the pipefish in a higher flow tank. I lost a mystery wrasse to a mp 40 when he swam in to hide when if shut off for cleaning when it restarted he was inside

. I got rid of my 60s as my tangs would like to see how close they could get to it, like you said some extreme undertow I had to pluck them off the side of it a couple times weren't sick just dumb still have the fish and that was years ago. Sadly he's not any smarter to this day.

Is this the first fish you've lost to a powerhead?

First pipefish I've lost to a powerhead and first fish in an MP60. Lost a few in MP40's over the years but never in a 60.
