No lights yet. :grumble:
They were supposed to take 3-4 weeks to make and in it's been over 5. :grumble:
Should have them by the end of the week though.
Finally! My 75 Gallon Full Blown Reef!

I wouldnt expect to see a goby until you have the lights

Because I'm clever
Indeed I second Hannah I though you had gotten your lights.

Sooo...
I took the lights off my 110 and put them on my 75, so that will work for the next few days. I still haven't seen the goby out yet.
But...
I put a piece of food in there and I watched it as it floated to the back of the tank... Then the goby jumped out and ate it! :bounce:
Still not in the open though...

I've had my 40 watt t12 bulb over the tank for a while now and still haven't seen the goby. I put a piece of food in front of the rock I think he's behind and he did not come out...
I didn't think gobys took this long to acclimate..? :chair: :question:

lol just give him some time with the lights may be a bit stage shy still. don"t be surprised if he's white when you see him.

I did see him briefly in the back yesterday and he looked like he did when I got him. Like this:
-- A blue spotted watchman goby. :?

Still nothing. :(
This is starting to get pretty strange... I put him in Saturday and haven't seen anything of him since Tuesday. I haven't even seen the shrimp in the last couple days...

hmmm are you able to see behind your rock work with the lights off using a flashlight some times the spot light method works well on finding lost fish or critters. The only other thing i can think of is maybe your guy died from stress and your cuc ate him then maybe the same with the shrimp. But I've had friends that have found there shrimp in there sumps. sometimes even smaller fish.
Sir Alex

I don't have a cuc yet. And I haven't noticed any unusual action from the skimmer. The shrimp is pretty small and there are lots of rocks. Isn't it likely he's just burrowing in a part of the tank I can't see?
ZyberGoby
Because I'm clever
yes that it is they both can be in the same good spot. I do truly hope both are ok

Sigh... Stupid fish...
Can't wait to get some corals.

Sir Alex

No but I took the light off my eel tank and put it on so there is light.

Well take some time to day and see if he has made himself a burrow in the depths of the tank

Good news guys. I looked around and found the shrimp and the goby. They were both in different parts in the back of the tank. I wasn't able to get any food back there but at least we now they're alright. :D
