Well over the weekend I got a new baby hippo tang for my 90g (posted pic earlier this weekend) and things had been going great. He's very active and eating up a storm. Well I get up this am and can't find him. At first I think he's just sleeping in the rocks but as the morning goes on I get more worried and start really looking for him. Well it turns out he made a little trip into my HOB overflow. He was stuck in the first chamber and there was no real good way to get him out. I ended up having to turn off my pump and "flush" him into my sump where there was a net ready to catch him. I put him back into my main tank and he just went on about his business. Still seems strong and eating great. :hypnotyized:
