Rebirth - 1500l

Great move on the diamond watchman goby, Alex. They are great animals.
As Matt suggested, take a look if they eat during feeding as something they arrive late to the party or just do not notice it.

We all think our growth is slow as we see the corals every day.
Take a break for a month and you will see the difference. LOL

I think the growth rate is good, but you would get much faster growth if you used T5s.

Well.

The fish (diamond goby) came..........and the fish goes away (to the frag tank)

After just one day he started to bury the rocks (and the corals) were he hide below....
I must blow the sand 4 or 5 times a day to clean the corals.

Let's go to plan B.

A pleasant surprise at the end of the year.
My friend has a couple of cardinal bangais that spawned a while ago.
This week he brought me this pair of juveniles who, to my surprise, were not slow to enter my longspine urchin

 

[DiscusHeckel]

You should have baby cardinals in due course then, Alex. Happy new year.

 

[Darth_Tater]

That's neat, I didn't know they did that. I'm a big fan of my pair.

Hello

Some not so good news:

- I had to remove the long spine urchin. It grows very big (about 10" long). Then its mouth starts scratching the tissue of corals that he climbs over.

- I had a Potassium spike in late october. It kills some acros and let the tank in a very very bad shape. To solve it I had to do a lot of WC, wich leads to a bloom of dinos in the sandbed.......I decided to remove the sandbed and now, 6 months later, the things starts looking a little better.

- I have lost my 2 sand fishes, due to the bloom os dinos, the Diamond goby and the opistognatus (one of my favorite fishes)
