BrianKC's 65g Rimless Rebuild

Congrats. I'm sure it will be a great addition to the tank. As far as I know they eat everything and are pretty hardy. Good luck!

Thanks! Will be feeding for the first time when the lights come on in the QT. Hope he's hungry!

Gobe Bluth, the black clown goby, was found dead today on the floor 3" from the aquarium stand. It was a noble escape attempt but ultimately unsuccessful. Good by Gobey the Goby. We will miss you.

On a positive note; the royal Gramma is eating like a horse and eager to replace Gobe when he gets out of quarantine. To be honest, Gobe was kind of a dud. Mostly hid. I'm sad he's gone but I also suspect he was eating some of my coral.

Oh no. What a bummer. I guess you know if he was nipping coral now. Haha

Where did you find the black clown goby? I live in the KC area as well and have been looking for different clown goby morphs for a while. I have a citron from Paradise but haven't found many others.

I got him from LiveAquaria

Thanks! If I had more free time I'd try to reinvigorate a local club. I've bumped into at least 5 other KC reefers on here.

Think I saw you comment on Ryan M's FB post earlier. BTW that was an awesome green M. digitata colony you had.

Thanks. Yeah, that one was a real bummer to lose.

If it wasn't enough that my pistol shrimp is constantly re-sandscaping, now my clown is doing it too. He's fanned about a cup of sand out of this little gully now. Animals are jerks.

I think the problem with getting the local club back up is how hostile the LFS are towards each other. The club gets divided between their favorite stores and it makes everyone hostile towards everyone.

So true.

Here are some growth comparisons. Before's are anywhere from 3-6 months ago. I'm probably as happy with the growth as I am the color improvements.

Nice! That is nice growth. Love the monti, cypastrea, and the frog spawn wow really came back. Looking sweet! Like the scape also.

Thanks! The monti growth is almost noticeable day by day. It's doing amazing. For some reason montis react really well to my reef keeping. My old tank had a monti the size of a bread plate before it crashed. The cyph has been doing great too. I've been more aggressive about low nutrients so SPS have been doing great.

Nice. Ya I seem to do better with monti and birdsnest also. Sps in general. Really excellent looking tank though can't wait to see it in a year! What you using for calcium supplement if you don't mind my asking?
