Yes, I got single gobies as they tend to not bother corals as singles.
That’s annoying!!! Especially going for the polyps at the top. Jason Fox has a method to catch fish. After lights have been off for awhile, crank them to max and all the fish jump out blind. And supposedly can catch one. A goby.... not even sure. Probably a no-go.

Something fundamental has shifted in the tank over the past week re the four top fish?
1 = Scopas
2 = Yellow scopas
3 = flame angel
4 = fff
The scopas tangs have always been a bickering couple, the yellow scopas spent a lot of time with fff.
The flame angel was besties with fff for about a year, they fell out, she has been spending more time in the display, ... close to the yellow scopas!
Fff has been spending more time with the scopas scopas!

I rolled a smoke and grabbed a beer and am trying to ignore them! ;)

I took a few, give me a while! ;)

I need to make a decision or rather I have made a decision, the fish stays.

I am going to take the acro back. (Pic to follow I just cleaned the cube glass).
The monti has nearly healed over where it got fragged in transit. :)

I love your YCG! I vote keep him, such a cool little fish!
But he would be on borrowed time eating my coral, and find a new home in the sump if it continued and I could actually catch him

Talking of upgrades, due to the demise of the M1 I have been rethinking the flow and filtration, adding a second sump for the cube and running the Eheims I have at less flow to the displays but still having an option to break things up where needed.
The plan is to go all DC as that will help during power outages.
I think the only reason cyano is hanging on now is just flow. ;)
(I know, I will set it to minimum before I switch it on, had enough snow globes over the years!) :p

I went to the lfs today and they said it was fine to take the acro back so I am giving it a couple of days to finish healing and I will take it back, I knew the risks, the fish will be staying ... for the moment! ;)

Your tank is nuts man. It’s got the same “aging” elements as the bottom of the sea.

Beautiful tank.

Too kind, it limps along lol, the engineer goby is a pain in the buttski but is going nowhere.
I think I have four or five fish that are nipping corals currently so working around them for coral stocking and placement, it evolves, it has probably had more downs than ups over the years, a lot of which were not my fault, it is 5 or 6 years old this coming weekend, or 4 anywho it makes me smile a lot! :)

So now you tell me, I’ve got 2 arriving tomorrow for the big tank, you know the one full of SPS! Lol

Ive got one in the S650, originally 2, and he’s very sweet and ‘as far as I know’ doesn’t touch anything

Fingers crossed......

You get a pair and they will chew sps to lay eggs on, that is just a general consensus. I'm sure your pair of little angels will be model citizens! ;Watching
