Okay so it starts with me waking up at 6:30 to go vote, after finally going to sleep around 2... I get back from voting around 8:45 and fall asleep on the couch everything is cool with the tank...
I wake up at 12:08, probably from the halide bulb being in direct sight of the couch where I'm sleeping and I have a headache. I look at the tank and see the Two Spot Hogfish lying on the bottom with his tail in the mouth of an acan. So I'm like great he's getting eaten... I pull him off and everything looks good. I then realize the powerheads are off (snails swam into the koralia and into the intake on the maxijet. I can't use the return on the tank because the tank would start leaking bit by bit. He then swims behind the rock right to where my brittle star is. Not good news there. I rip the rock out and was tempted to bust the rock open and just toss the brittle star either in the back yard or in the sump... I was just a little mad that he was trying to eat my favorite fish.
So I get the hogfish out of the stars cave and set him in the front of the tank. I observe him and he's really breathing hard, I pick him up and hold him in front of the powerhead to get some water running over his gills and he actuall swam around a little bit. Tried to feed, he didn't eat, he ditched into the rocks and I just found him poking his head out, still breathing hard...
Crossing my fingers at this point cause I can't get to him...
