    Has anyone else ran into issues with a fish being absolutely scared to death about a mag float. Its in the tank all the time, but when I move it she goes crazy. She trys swimming into the glass, gets pale, flares up, and hides in her cave. She hasn't came out in like 20 minutes and she does this every time.

    might make the job harder but try cleaning the tank with the lights out... I know this sounds crazy.
