Dirty powerheads

[ZANYMASTER]

Thanks to my Orange spotted goby,it kicks up sand it gets trapped in the Koralias and spits it out and spreads all over my tank creating a mess on my powerhead.Next to impossible to fish him out.Thoughts?

What are you asking ?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

A harpoon?

 

[jhale]

put his favorite food in a jar and wait for him to swim in and eat it.

or borrow a fish trap from someone on the board. either way it will require some patience.

 

[nanoreefer22]

ohhhhh I get it now...slow moment

Try the jar, especially if the fish is food crazy. I got my hawkfish out this way, but she was CRAZY about food.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

This one is just that....Food crazy.I'll see what I can do.Anyone have a trap I can borrow?Never used one before.

Im confused... The only thing you're worried about is sand on top of the powerheads?

 

[jhale]

no the sand is getting sucked up and spread all over the tank by the powerheads. (i think)

 

[ZANYMASTER]

I'm worried that it may be causing an algae bloom,They're caked with dirt and brown algae.

 

[MikeyZO]

Ok, I can see that being a problem, but they way zany said it... "creating a mess on my powerhead" made it sound like that was the only thing happening.

How long have you had him, Zany?

 

[ZANYMASTER]

A few months now.
