Biocube owners beware, lost my flame hawk (I blame myself)

[nitschke65]

Well, my beautiful flame hawk is gone. I remember reading somewhere (probably here) about the possibility of fish jumping into the back chambers of a biocube. (mine is a 29) Unfortunately, I never did anything about it, and; this afternoon. I found him on top of my bag of Chemi-pure Elite in chamber 3. Tomorrow, I'll devise some sort of screen to prevent this from happening again. If you have a tank like this, and have a fish that's jumpy, please don't learn this lesson the hard way...

like I did.

Thanks, fishstick4sale. I've been trying to search (without much luck) for ideas on how to block off that opening. If anyone's done this, I'd be interested to hear how.

That does stink! I had that happen to one of my clowns. It jumped into the pump chamber and got sucked into my pump. I think my other clown fish chassed him in there.
