That's what I would guess. Look like cerith to me. My bumblebees in the big tank just laid eggs everywhere.

Let’s see if they actually hatch. Might be giving away snails in the near future if they do hatch and grow.

Received the shipping information and tracking number for my lid. Hope it’s here this week. On the horrible side it’s been three weeks and I still have not received my clown goby :mad: If it doesn’t ship outby Wednesday this week I am canceling my order and finding a new place to purchase one from.

 

[DDenny]

Yeah lid will be here Thursday afternoon on a sad note I had to get a refund on the clown goby (vendor wouldn’t ship for some reason and communication was poor at best). I waited three weeks before canceling my order. I emailed 4-5 times and only one response before I canceled the order. I know LA has a hit or miss record but they had a Greenbanded goby is stock so I ordered that this morning. We will see when it ships. But the lid will be here before the fish.

 

[DDenny]

Great day my lid came in and my GBG is shipped and will be here tomorrow. Christmas in May.

Yea Greenbanded Goby came in and 55 minutes early surprises with FedEx. Got it all acclimated and it’s hiding behind the rocks for now. Dang this fish is tiny maybe 1/2” or so long. The frozen mysis and brine shrimp that I got is going to last a while. Will try to introduce tiny pellets in a couple of weeks to try and add variety.

Little guy is much braver this afternoon. Venturing out from behind the rocks. Thinks it’s chasing pods. Yeah candid shot didn’t have time to wipe the glass. Wife wants a coral banded shrimp. Wants something that will move around the tank.

 

[DDenny]

Used to have a pretty healthy population of Munnid isopods and in 48 hours they seem to all be gone. Hahahahaha at least I know goby is eating. See a few copepods still but not many. Will see if it is eat some frozen mysis hasn’t been interested in any food cause of the pods.

Haven’t done an update for a while. After adding GBG and Bober Shrimp I have yet to see any Acoel flatworms either. Tank seems to be doing great. Keeping parameters in check.
salinity 35ppt
PO4 .05-.07
NO3 2-5
Ca 410
Mg 1380
pH 8.0-8.1
Alk 8.3
I am happy so far but saving up for a bigger tank in the future maybe a 50g-65g.

 

[DDenny]

Was going to do a water change so tested my water. Parameters look good so going to skip this week and see what they look like next Saturday. Trying to get to bi-weekly water changes not cause I don’t want to do them but if parameters are good why change it out.
Salinity 35ppt
Temp: 77-78
PO4: .049
NO3: 2
Ca: 430
Mg: 1280
Alk 8.3
pH: 8.0
nitrates are low cause I have some algae in the middle and return chambers so next Saturday going to scrape and vacuum it out and see what happens to NO3.

Couple of update pics. Received my order this morning from @REEFTIDE and it was on time and packages very well. After acclimation and dipping they seem to be doing good. I did have one flatworm in the dip. Looked over the hammers for eggs and didn’t see anything. My GBG seems to have made a new home around the neon hammer just means I can get better pics of it.

Nice! This tanks really coming along for you. Love it.

My reeftide order comes tomorrow. One thing for the pico, the rest for the cade

 

[DDenny]

Both Hammers opened up in about an hour and a half. Think I have enough flow for them. And the Cookie Monster Birds Nest has its polyps out pretty good as well.

Haven’t done an update in a long time. So here are a few pictures. Everything seems to be doing pretty good. Hammers have great extension and the Birds Nest has gotten thicker and the PE seems to be good. And Jacque the Banded Coral Shrimp like to photo bomb. Pardon the glass didn’t clean it.

Sorry been busy and haven’t had a lot time to post. It’s still going good. There was some time that I’d do t keep up with water changes and something got away from me. Getting back into shape will post some pics soon with parameters.
