That will annoy it causing it to close. Yes the goby loves to perch on the GSP. However for the past months it would lay in the GSP and the Gsp would not close up only with my touch did it close, for the fish it WOUOD stay open when they lay on itOn the left picture, it looks like a fish is sitting on it
Do you have any fish in your tank that perches? Like a hawk fish? Or anything else that can be annoying it?
It may just need a couple of days after you removing algae from it to fully recover.
That would be my bet though!
My GSP or indeed any other of my corals do not like my two hawk fish to perch on them.I feel you, when my shrimp goes near it it closes, but for some reason it loves my clown goby and lets it soak it up! LolThat would be my bet though!
Often, main reasons are low flow or too bright of light and high phosphates. My suspicion is flow which should be moderate to mediumHey y’all I’ve had my Gsp for awhile now and the last couple of days one part hasn’t been opening. It looks like it has some hair alage on it which I removed. ANYTGING else that can be bothering it?
I had some on the glass I glued and it died after a week…..
If it's been getting less powerful start by cleaning it
might just get that power back if you suspect thats your issue..
Pull the cage off and remove the impeller blade part, clean with a toothbrush and clean magnet also and the hole. Rinse out and reassemble- Should run normal again - Likely full of mulm- slime
Hello so happily this gsp is open and beautiful again however the gsp I glued to the back glass is dying, should I just glue a plug with Gsp on it for better results. I feel like the glue on the base of the Gsp killed it
That will do it as it at lights out retracts and reopens from pores when lights are on
