Nice!

Still foamy at the surface. Been adding a little live water everyday. Added some ruble I had kicking around. Also glued about 30 pieces of rumble together and made a decent little rock. Still pretty foggy.

This is the $8 pump I found on Amazon. Just hope it fits.

How did it do?

I found a Yasha Hashe and pistol combo at my LFS yesterday. It was a tiger pistol but that's ok. They went right for the rocks, and haven't seen them since. Except for a pistol antenna poking out of a tunnel this morning. Overnight, one or both did a lot of digging. I see a couple tunnels/burrows and sand piles. Hoping after a couple days they will begin making normal appearances.

It came a couple days late, but it's a good fit and a noticeable pressure increase :)

Here ya go :)

Added a clown goby and walking dendro yesterday. The Yasha has such little bio load, due to their slow metabolism I decided to add a 2nd fish. The dendro moved a couple inches last night. I didn't dip the coral due to the peanut worm living inside, thankfully my LFS does an a amazing job of removing unwanted critters.


Clown goby roosting up on the return. Keeps doing the happy dance.

Double post, server trouble...

I used to have a clown yellow clown goby in my spec 3. Is he eating?

Oh yes. He has an excellent appetite.

That's good! Be sure to get some pods in there as well. It will tear them up

Oddly the clown has ignored the colony of tiger pods living on the rock in which its roosting. He may be picking them off but I haven't witnessed it for myself yet.

Mine went for the tisbe pods.

I've got the first diatom bloom.

Do you see the Tiger pods?

 

[cameronh]

In that picture look at the rock at 6 o' clock. They are the little orange dots on the rock.
