Gotcha!!!

Spotted this in my tank tonight.... a saltwater croc aka harmless house lizard! Hahaha!

Man... I must be bored.

Now someone tell me how to tell lizards that fishtanks are prohibited zones?

Heh Got the same problem too. In fact, I have two regulars who leave their poop on my tank occasionally. My tank is located outside. The actinic draw flies and the flies draw crocs, esp. a big prob. during rainy days. Duh

Anyway, that's OK. Cleaning pooh is better than having flies swimming in the tank that end up in the sump as exoskeletons eventually. In fact, my false gamma have acquired a taste for flies on top of its usual diet of frozen mysid and bs and so it join the ranks of the crocs.

I think its a problem in tropical Singapore.

I noticed an increase in flying insects in the house ever since I got a reef tank... especially when I upgraded to HQIs!

Flies, moths, flying ants... aiyoh!

If I see an '8-legged freaks' coming... I quit!!!

During cold wet nights...best is to close most/all windows to prevent insects from entering ya home...as they r attracted to the lights of ya tank

my tank is also outside the porch and at nite it draws fly and the ac fans blow em down. anyawy im cycling my tank if they drawn they produce ammonia rite. useful?

[Achilles Tang]

Hmmm.... you will need a lot of flys to produce that amount of ammonia. Perhaps if you have a dozen lizards drowning...
