I lost him about 3 weeks ago. He was doing great, eating well and building his little burrows and then one morning I found him dead. No idea what happened.

I've had the same thing happen 3 times now with bsj's.... After about 3months the same thing happens. Recently tried a pair of mated yellow head jawfish from kp aquatics in Florida and they have been awesome! They are use to warmer waters unlike the blue spot which need cooler water. So far very hardy and beautiful colors.

I have been looking at the yellow head jawfish as well, may give them a go at some point.

I don't have plans for much more at this point. If something catches my eye I may pick it up and there are a few more fish I may add but that's about it.

I am thinking about getting a new skimmer. I have a SRO XP-5000 and I am not very happy with it. I have been thinking about a NextReef NXS1 XL Recirculating Skimmer but I can't seem to find much information about it. Still not sure what skimmer I want at this point.

It was very interesting to read! Beautiful reef, congratulations you did it.
How to solve the problem with the sand?

 

[jeffreylam1132]

Just read through your entire build. One word, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! If you don't mind, can you share your radion program? Very curious what program you're running, because the color looks gorgeous.

I removed all the fine sand and replaced it with a heavier grain sand. It still blows around a little bit but because it is heavier it just settles back down instead of floating around in the water column.
