I just got a new 6in Engineer Goby yesterday. I put him in the tank and since that time he has not explored much just hung out behind the rock wall. I now they are diggers, and all that jazz, but wondered if this is normal? Also the next thing is I know I have to feed 2 x a day... But the...

Great Idea off to cut up some Brine and Myso now. Thanks for the info

I know I've only had my tank up and running since the beginning of Feb and just had my first outbreak of Cyano. I had thought or hoped that the pink on my rock was it beginning to get coraline(sp) but yesterday I noticed in my refugium I had LOTS of pink. It was stringy where my inlet water pipe...

Yeah I was hoping it was/is coralline algea. Thanks for the info on the Chromis. I've been watching them and both are eating and they appear to get along and not much chasing. If these guys pass... No more. I'll go with some fire fish or something a bit larger. Sadly limited by tank...

coming along nicely.

Better Pic I noticed on this rock there are some dark spots showing as well. Such a Diva..

So is the fact that I have some pink spots showing up on my rock a Good to Bad Sign?? I decided that my original chaeto was not gonna revive so I got another clump. In a day 80% of the brown algea was gone and trace amounts in refugium a couple days later. I now see red stuff in it. And...

I have 2 clowns and originally 2 chromis. One of the chromis wedged himself in a hole and died. He was a pita to get out. So my wife wanted 2 more to have 3 total. Well one more died a week later. I looked for body but never did find and was not about to tear apart tank for a small fish. So let...

Looks good.. :) Kinda regretting the fact I let my wife talk me in to a 46 bowfront tank. Limits my ability to put tangs or butterflies in it :( Oh well Chip

I picked up 2 Chromis to replace the dead one. Also another ball of chaeto which has already after one day taken away or killed off some of the brown algae. Now a waiting game... I figured I'll give it a good 2 months to get established and then start too look at adding a HO light and some...

Thanks for the bike comment. I enjoy it.. :) Assuming Nasty is a compliment Lol Sadly ole Greeny went belly up.. Kinda. He wedged himself in a hole in a rock and I think for stuck. Probably how he got flesh wound the other day. He was dead and a pain to pull out but he's gone now...

Why do I foresee a "Hottie and a Tank thread" happening soon Hmmm lol Oh and remind me to unsubscribe... LMAO

Well decided to remove the dead guy.. The compassionate side of me kicked in :) Well I must say I think the bonehead chromis wedged himself in tot hat rock. He was in there god so much so that I had to pull the rock out, grip his fins with a paper towel to get a good grip and pull hard. I'm...

Well seems my little green guy may not had made it.. :) I did a feeding this AM, and no sign of him. After searching and searching, His body was found wedged between a couple of rocks. So now the debate, remove him or let him decompose in tank? I'm thinking remove but have read other posts...

Thanks Lionel... I figured I have a few area's for some corals, as well as hiding for fish and others. No where near your amazing tank, but it's a start.

What little fish said...

Thanks guys and gals.. So decided yesterday to change the Aquascape. :) Only bad part of it was one Chromis took a hit on side, and is fine, but staying hidden to lick his wounds. I needed to get rocks off sides. :) Still have to wipe sides but decided to get a magnetic cleaner rather then...

Yeah figured he needs time to lick his wounds. He's eating like a bandit, and swimming quickly so thinking he will be fine. Thanks Chip

Okay Scratch that post.. I think the Mystery spot is figured out. I lured him out with some food. He went crazy... needless to say, looks like either He scratched himself on the rocks, or I nicked him while moving stuff. The spot is not brown but red and looks like fresh flesh wound. Not deep...

So I decided to make some changes to my tanks AquaScape lastnight. I was careful to make sure I did not crush anything... Last night after I was finished, I noticed one of my green chromis was hiding in the back behind the rocks. I figured he was just acting goofey. This AM when I woke up...
