Sps and diamond goby?

[Mikenroe]

Hi there! I have a mixed reef and I'm starting to feel my tank with a lot my sps corals. However I know that water clarity is really important for keeping them healthy. I recently got a orange diamond goby to help with cleaning the deep sand bed I have. When I first got it my water clarity was horrible. Now that he has been in there a few weeks, clarity is much better. I run a sock and Chem pure elite. Will the diamond goby cause problems for my sps corals, like I said my clarity is getting a lot better now. Please let me know your thoughts or if any of you have experience with this.

i have two of them and initially it was like a sandstorm, but just like yourself, the tank is getting cleaner. I love them cause they stir the sand and prevent more dead spots than I would have thought.. my personal view is that they provide food particles in the water which I like

Marthin! Thanks for the advice. My water clarity continues improve and the sand is crystal white. Good point about the food particles that either the corals or the aqua sock can filter out.

It will clear up. I have one in my 120 and sand looks great. He keeps sand bed stirred and clean and corals look great.
