    thanks it seems that fish jumping would often happen in the early morning hours when the sun was coming up. i would find myself jumping up out of bed if i heard the cat doing something. thinking he has a fish again. as soon as they jump he is there. when he sees me he grabs the fish and runs out his pet door. i than go running after him threw the back yard. im sure its a funny site. glad i have a high fence back there. lol so far each fish i have grabbed from the cat has lived. even my male anthias who i thought was a goner. he had a pierce mark on both sides ( one at the tail, one on the other side under the gill ) from were the cats tooth went in . that was a few weeks ago and the fish is all healed and doing well. i guess i should name him lucky..... so really this cover is for me as much as the fish :) no more jumping out of bed to see what the cats up to.
    oh the cat has already tried to pull the cover off and did get it partially off..lol

    Somewhere around 100 gallons, and then another 30 (at least) for the sump?

    Maybe once or twice a week. Around 5-10 krill or silversides. I really don't know if we feed it enough, but it sure seems like it's doing well.

    I think it depends on how large you want it to grow. Reduce feedings, and it will stop growing, or even shrink a little. As much as it's being fed right now, it will continue to grow. No harm either way, just depends on preference to size.
