Well. Bad news. Yesterday while I was home cleaning I started to smell something burning. First instinct was to check the kitchen. Not there. Walking around looking. While walking out of my bedroom I notice the angler tank is bubbling. My little power head had blown and was boiling the water. I immediately unplugged the power head and got it out of the tank. Feo still is moving- but not out as much. Thankfully I was home or the whole tank could be dead and melted on the floor.
 
dang i have never encountered anything like that
what brand and model of powerhead?
 
It was just a spare one laying around that had too much coralline on it to tell that was given to me a long time ago
 
Well glad you caught it. That would've been a disaster. Your angler really is so ugly it's cute! lol

Wow..., that's crazy! Hope he's alright.
 
Neat tank. Once I learn more about marine fishkeeping, I would like to try this. There is a store here that sells small anglers.

hey jodi, whats going on with this tank? i just found the thread, considering one sometime down the road too.

I've been having weird algae problems with the tank because it is low flow. I'm thinking of moving him to my 30 gal frag tank that I'm setting up sometime this week that will be running off my 220 sump. Hoping for better results.
