Here's what I've got:
37 gallon tank
CPR BakPak2 Skimmer w/maxijet 1200
Penguin 350 Powerfilter
Maxijet 400

Livestock:
(Mine)
2 Oscellaris clowns
1 purple pseudochromis
1 neon goby
1 unidentified goby (either sleeper blue dot or some variant of watchman goby)
1 chocolate chip starfish
2 peppermint shrimp
6 assorted snails
6 hermits
(friends who just deployed overseas and stuck them in my tank :( )
3 blue/green chromis
1 yellow tail damsel

I plan on upgrading to a 75 or 90 in the next few months.

I gotta I am very shocked with the hospitality I've found on this forum. I'm a member of a Subaru forum and that took months to find a good community and I thought it might be the same with this hobby, but I was definitely wrong, you guy are awesome.

Scratch the six line wrasse, my LFS distributor forgot to deliver it for the third week so cancelled the order. Got a yellow head sleeper instead that wa already in the store, got my sifter.

So my yellow prawn goby does not like my new yellowhead sleeper goby. I'm new to gobies how long should it take to figure out if they can cohabitate together permanently.

My CPR bakpak crashed today and I lost 10-13 gallons of water on my floor. Any ideas what might have caused it?

So the CPR skimmer is shot, learned a lesson buying second hand equipment. Going to invest in a RP3 Rapids pro wet/dry/skimmer filter system. Reduced the bio load on the tank, took the 3 chromis, yellowtail damsel, and watchman goby to the LFS.
