GYRE KILLED MY FAVORITE FISH

[Oscaror]

COVER YOUR GYRES OR JUST DON'T BUY ONE.

Look how they massacred my boy

 

[Katrina71]

I'm so sorry

 

[Mastiffsrule]

Totally sorry. That’s a horrible way to find a fish. Thanks for sharing so hopefully it doesn’t happen again to another

 

[motortrendz]

Wow that's terrible. And new. I don't think I've seen that happen before.

Dear god... That is awful. I recently lost a beloved fish to an accident I could have prevented as well, I understand your pain.

 

[Oscaror]

I just can't believe it, half of his body had the skin torn right off. He had so much personality and to go like that it hurts me to think about it. I've had him for years I just wish it didn't end like this.

Curious to know if this Gyre was running 24/7 .... or .... only during certain hrs?

I have two vortech mp40s and I NEVER completely turn them off bc my smaller fish like to use it as a hiding spot.. ... and when the Apex turns them on.... well, we see what happens

Let us know if you continously ran these or not

Sorry that happened. My pair of banggai cardinals like to hangout by my gyre. I might have to consider covering the inlet some how.

 

[Alexreefer]

So sorry. So painful to see him go this way. Looked like an amazing fish.

 

[ScottR]

My condolences. That’s horrible to hear. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

 

[Dom]

Ugh... sorry.... hate to see that.

What kind of fish is it? Looks like an epaulette shark.

 

[S2G]

Ah that sucks. That's a big gap those things have.

Hello,

It’s always sad when a fish or a coral dies, worse if they die because of us or wave makers etc. The problem is we are now making them sooo strong, that they can harm fish and corals. It’s hard enough to stock a tank and now we have to even plan the equipment or things end badly. Still super sorry it happened.

 

[CindyKz]

That just sucks. I'm so sorry.

 

[W1ngz]

Sorry
Wondering what species he was?

edit: nevermind. Engineer goby. So much fun to watch them work.

 

[rkpetersen]

Sorry to see it.
Use the fine mesh guards. They work great.
Combine the mesh guards with alternating flow configuration, and they're even safe for anemones.

 

[Silver14SS]

Is it possible the fish died of other reasons and got sucked up into the gyre after the fact?

This just happened to my engineer goby "Ed" today.. was able to get him out and moved to my hospital tank with some stress coat and melafix.. he is still alive, but dont think he is going to make it.. he is my favorite little dude, had him for 4 years.. what a bad day...
Ordered the nets for the gyre and for other powerheads .. sucks .. feel for the OP ..
