not a good week for fish..

[EMUreef]

I've had 3 fish jump in the past week n 1/2.

a 6line outta one tank.

2 clowns out of another.

an orange occy than bought a black occy to replace it and i just found it on the floor this morning.

this sucks.

[CableGuy]

[stunreefer]

yea i feel so horrible :( i feel like i treat the fish right, i feed them earlier, something must just be spooking them at night.

i will be buying stuff to make covers netted covers for my new 90g thats for sure.

i can live with an orange occy but a recently purchased black one...COME ONNNNN

Hate to hear of this happening. Is there a reason you don't have your tank covered?

i have a few HOB stuff on both tanks along with MH pendants hanging from the celieing.

one tank is a hexagon. difficult to cover. and lately since im going to be switching over to the 90g soon, it would have been a waste to make one... but i guess not.

I dont have my tank 100% covered because of heat and I dont like the metal nets, BUT I havent had any issues.

Only the front 2/5 of my tank is covered by glass and then the rest is covered by my light but that is about 5 inches above the tank so they could still get out if they got the right angle.

Heat is my enemy.

heat is my enemy as well.

mike thats on here i went to his place to get some rock and his covers were made of a nylon netting which i might look for and use. my tanks have been sent up since sept and nov and never had any issues.

its like right when i decide to get his 90g 3 fish decide to just end it.

Sorry to hear about your losses~

[Sir Patrick]

That is rough man!!! Sorry about the new clown!!

[EMUreef]

thank you everyone for helping me through this rough time.

[Sir Patrick]

Maybe its a sighn to put a hold on fish, till you get the 90 up and have a jimsflies mesh top??

My 65 will surely have one of those tops!!!

thats exactly what im going to do.

^ maybe we should go and get the stuff at the same time, and build them??? Would probly cut the cost a bit?

i actually think im going tomorrow

if i end up with extra supplies ill let you know

[jimsflies]

I get the stuff to build the frames at Menards. Framing for a 6x6 screen is ~$15. I'd recommend buying an extra pack of corners. If you find you need to take it appart because your dimensions are off, they break easily.
