Sad day in my reef...
Well, today I lost Lenny the lawnmower blenny to a tunze powerhead....
I was fiddling with a thermometer near the tunze and as usual, anytime I am near my tank the fish come and say hi, hoping for food and such... Well, Lenny was doing his usual, sitting at the bottom of the tank looking grumpy when he noticed the commotion in the lop left corner of the tank. So, swimming like a torpedo at full throttle he shot over to see whats up... SOMEHOW he swam right inside the tunze as it was on its low phase (25% power) and just as his head entered the front opening the tunze switched onto full power (80%) and there was an audible click... Lenny's spine musta snapped instantly. His tail was sticking out one hole and the head out another... I was in shock (still in shock as I type this, it happened 5 mins ago). The other fish seemed to realise the problem immediately and all hid to their various caves.... Lenny was my absolute favorite in the tank. I've had him the longest and he was the big, grumpy ol' boss of the tank. His kiss marks on the glass and grumpy scowl will be sorely missed. I am/was a big fan of the tunze's. I can't believe Lenny could do that... I guess I am going to run the low power setting slightly higher from now on. Just needed to share...

sorry to hear
sorry to hear that man - its hard when they do things that just don't make sense. I lost a firefish the other day and although I was sad, I recycled the fish by feeding it to my RBTA. If you have a good size rbta, give it some almost live food.
