You should start a Tank Thread so we can keep track of your build and watch it grow and change. You would also get a cool Tank Thread badge under your name!

I had a love/hate relationship with the blue dot jawfish we had. Was an awesome fish with loads of personality but little bugger had a knack for finding and burying the nicest corals, lost an amazing bleeding apple scoly because he managed to drag it into a hole he dug under the rockwork he was digging under. Had him for over a year when I had an acclimation box hanging on the side of my tank and he found the lid gap at the box and ended up as fish jerky. Learned my lesson, no more fish that dig!

If it’s not the digging it’s the jumping which is how I lost mine and it’s not because I didn’t have a netted lid over the tank . All it takes is a sliver of a opening like in my case the area where my light mounts reside .
