Suzi's Bond Villain 110g Predator Reef

[Sleeping Giant]

I had 4 stunning cynarinas in there and I lost all 4 with the light failure.
Tank went almost 2 weeks without lights and things got really REALLY mad.

that sucks

that sucks

You have no idea.... I'm ready to cry

I tried moving the cynarina to the 55, but it was too late.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

predator tank would be interesting to see, so many things to pick from and beautiful fish and eels.

cynarinas are so nice, I'm way to scared to get one

 

[OrchidMiss]

Rules that out. But, how long have you had the wrasse?

He'd been in there several months, at least 3 or 4

Dang. I can't tell from the top, is it opened for jumpers? Or fully covered?

It was open when I lost the exquisite, and immediately put the eggcrate top back on.
I did check the floor all around, under the tank. No evidence of another jumper.
This is what happened to Goldfinger, but he seemed to have other issues.

With the dozen or so BTAs, I will never know for sure.

These fish can jump and end up in another room. If you got a cat, might have been eaten.

I'd be on the possitive side, still in hiding. But.. I'm sure that's not the case.

ya that would be hard to know

Also, btas wouldnt be able to fully digest a fish that size and would be extremely bloated looking.

This tank is frustrating me.
To the point I've said, more than one time this week, that it hates me and I might just tear it down.
This tank makes fish disappear.
Renard, my exquisite wrasse couldn't take the heat and jumped to his demise. This was my fault for not covering the top.

This morning, as I'm feeding everyone, I see that the new Oddjob (rub-headed fairy) is gone now. No sight or sign of him, so I'm assuming he was eaten by the nems and CUC.
I'd say maybe Jello had something to do with it, but he's never been that type of aggressive, but who knows. He's a beautiful monster.

On top of the fish loss, the light still won't work properly and the controller for it is discontinued EVERYWHERE and can't be found. The new lights come with the controller integrated into it. (Maxspect Razor 300w).
The problem with the light, and reason I can't use a timer with it, is if one were to unplug/interrupt the circuit, the lights completely reset and the settings I had previously are lost and the light shows ALL channels at 255% and the tank looks like literal crap. I've had to move all my torches to the 55, moved a couple other pieces, but I have lost SEVERAL of my favorite pieces of of this tank and it is really just getting depressing. I do still have a couple hammers, lots of pretty mushies, some zoas near the top that are hanging in, some monis that have aiptasia burns.
I haven't seen the 15 berghias that went in a couple weeks ago, but I also don't see any new, small ones growing. I may need to cut up some and see if they disappear once they are more bite sized morsels. (please don't backfire and this tank becomes overrun - I will just put the whole thing down by the curb.
This week/weekend *fingers crossed* I will mount the Wills black boxes over the tank and use a smart plug for on and off.
I'm not adding anything, at all, to this tank until I can get things straightened out or I say screw it and sell the stupid thing.

If I decide not to sell it, and if I can get corals to grow again, this may become a predator reef.

Rant over. Stupid fish.

HAH cats are pretty much the only animal I don't have!

Good, sorry. I just don't like them.

I dunno... I watched one eat a melanurus a day after I put it in the tank

Maybe mine can't than. They prefer a touch of mysis.
