TANK TALK: Create a mini "day in the life" story for your reef tank. What happens from sunrise to sunset in your aquatic world? Bonus points for creativity and humor!

The day would start for the reef tank at around 6AM when you can start seeing daylight outside. The Clowns and Tangs would say hello to each other. They would poke around looking for food disturbing the other sea life in the tank. Everyone starts to wake up as the day gets brighter searching for breakfast. My day starts at 8AM and notices me. They all quickly rush to the surface for breakfast when I feed them. Once fed, they go back doing their things until the next feeding when the sun sets.

I just pulled two out yesterday. Haven't seen any ill effects from them, but interwebs spooked me. Thought the ones with the red backs were the bad of the bads.
From what I've read there's to many different species that all a lot alike. To be able to tell which are "bad" or "good". I just roll with whatever happens and hope for the best lol

TANK TALK: Create a mini "day in the life" story for your reef tank. What happens from sunrise to sunset in your aquatic world? Bonus points for creativity and humor!

My life as a Clownfish

It's still dark out. Something large moves outside my area. But it's ok I still have my torch to hide in.

"Ahhhh" a blinding light. Again the monsters move past my tank. One stops and stares at me. "HIDE!!!" back to near my torch coral safe and sound. The wierd light goes away, back to sleep. Finally the sun starts coming up. Better check my area, before that pesky Hawkfish stops by.

House looks good, time to eat some tasty pods and algea. "AHH" there's a furry paw clawing my tank. "HIDE!!!" wooo it's gone. Ok time to do hangout in the the typical places that other clownfish would. To the front corner next to that tube thing. Better keep and eye on it.

That peskt hawkfish keeps eyeing me. What is he doing? I'm not food, right??? Better not test him. He'll keep to the top of water. "AHHHH!!" he's attacking to the torch....... WOOOA safe again.

The giant monster it back. That's ok these tube thing need to be watched. The sun's setting. Soon the gods will bless me with something tasty, before bed. Good thing I cleaned my torch home today.

Official entry: My current tank is a mixed reef with mostly euphyllia along the bottom/lower section and fuzzy SPS along the higher spots. I travel quite a bit, so the Plank would come in super handy. A lid would be awesome too as then I could get some "jumpy" fish!

Lights come up, super blue and the fish and critters all think they've gone color blind! As the day progresses, the lighting gets more "normal" and they feel that they're slowly getting better! As evening approaches, things start to look blue again and they all feel like it's the beginning of the long darkness (night). All the while, the coral are sunbathing, soaking up as much as they can!

Official entry:

I would like a lid and a feeder. I just purchased a new innovative marine 200ext black Friday. It's going to be a huge upgrade from my Fluval Flex 32 gallon.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about the plank auto feeder and since I am planning for some anthias in the larger tank, I'll need a good auto feeder for them.

Also need a good lid for them since I hear they are jumpers.

This is a Awesome Giveaway! I have a Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 10 gal AIO. It's a mixed reef tank. I would love to replace my current lid and Auto feeder with these great products.

I got a 60-gallon reef tank and have been fighting Dino for 6 months. The dino is finally starting to decline and I'm almost done with the battle. The auto feeder will help my tank, I have an auto feeder that is like 10 years old and a new replacement would be nice.

I have a 120 gallon mixed reef with lots of friendly wrasses and Anthias. Auto feeder with nice lid would make my life easier for me and more complete balanced delivery of food to my fish. There is a bonus of not having to remove the old lids every time I need to feed the fishes.
