clown jumpin in overflow of Aquapod

[xxxbadfishxxx]

My clown has somehow made it into the 3 or 4th chamber, for the second time. Has this happened to anyone else, and how can i prevent this? My top is totally closed.

thanks,

Jeff

i tried to get him out, but he swam to the bottom, heater and pump have been removed, but hes not coming up. This sucks.

This is a very common problem I believe in both the nanocubes and aquapods. idk if the aquapod is the same as the nanocube but there is a slight gab between the lights and the dividers that seperate the display from the chambers. that they get over and into the chambers. I'm sure someone will come up with a solution for ya.

yes this is verry common ploblem the easiest solution is eggcrate ...i thought my clown and my gramma were gone they were chillin in the 1st chamber watching tv

It's happen to me twice with my old NC12. I thought my clown died, unit I replaced the sponge after 3 months. That's when I saw him swimming. He was skinny, but alive.

I cut a piece of plastic (home depot) to cover the filtration chambers.

WoW TV in the first chamber? that's a mod i just HAVE to know how to do!

;p sorry couldn't resist.

In my 12g aquapod I keep finding my lettuce nudibranch but he is just a slug so i think he gets sucked in over the skimmer

Here is what I did on my 24... it works.

(yes, the clamps were only there till the epoxy cured)

icenine..are those just pieces of acrylic?what type of epoxy did you use?Thanks!

 

[xxxbadfishxxx]

i think your nemo is trying to clog up your filter
jokes aside, eggcrate is a good bet

i had jawfish and damsels jump into my AP backchamber but not my clowns. the only time my clown ever went carpet surfing was during a 10hr blackout. maybe there's a problem ine your water parameters?
