airangel Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Digg Oh so sorry to hear of the gobies demise Right now the rocks are in a 5g bucket with powerhead, not sure the best way to remove the small bubbly stuff. Can one just try to pry em off using an exacto knife? The rocks are loaded with critters (stars). I figured I could probably yank the GHA with tweezers. Link to comment
fiction101 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I bet it starved to death, I just lost my yellow clown goby and it barely ate. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 yeah i think it did.. it has never ate since i put it in the tank... Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Sorry to hear about the lose of your goby man. I think that one of my shrimp just kicked the bucket yesterday as well. I noticed that I had only seen one cruising around lately and then when I fed the tank I didn't see it again. No sign of a shell or anything....guess the snails had a feast. As always, we are going to need some more pics of the tank Link to comment

Mr.Pickles Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I bet it starved to death, I just lost my yellow clown goby and it barely ate. Dont say that i just got one yesterday and i love him! Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 o yeah and notice the orange sponge stuff on the new shroom rocks... its pretty cool.. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Awesome Digg....I love the new mushies that you got. Really nice mix of blue and green w/white stripes. Change in rock work looks great as well. I am always amazed at how these tiny little tanks can look massive in pictures. When you get a chance, can you take a picture of it from a little farther back so we can get more perspective of it's size? I think that is one of the coolest shots when you see our reefs from farther back so you can see how big/small they are. Great job man. This thing is really coming alive. Are you planning on getting a replacement fish? Also, how are you modding the JBJ 3g? Are you doing them all yourself? Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 thanks Dive.. yeah ill get ya a far shot... i dont know if im getting another fish or not... then ill have too do twice as many water changes..blahh.... for JBJ.. i am replacing the stock HOB with an AC 70 HOB, to convert into a fuge.. i just ordered a subersable Halogen light(for the fuge) yesterday from a guy on here.. i also have the Current 36wtt Dual light for it.. and the Taihatian Black sand... when i get the tank i will be painting the back with Krylon Fusion satin Black paint.. ( all these mods inspired by fictions Pico tank) alls i need now is the tank itself... im trying to get one without the light and HOB since i already have upgrades of them for it.. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 looking to add some nice rare zoa/paly frags with 3-4 polyps next.. i doubt i will be able to keep PPE under the 13wtt pc light.. Link to comment

diggman08 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 here we go.. all frags have opened happily expect one( but its starting to open ) Wammin watermelons... Flourescent Daisy Polyps Never seeen these GSP's before.. i like Freebie bright Red Zoas The Regular Daisys that havent opened yet.. but im pulling for them I know the frags are a lil smaller than i expected,, but im hoping the Spread all through out the rockwork..( im actual glad there small because its only a 2gal.. and theyll have time to grow in here my Fuge light for the JBJ.. or maybe the BC Plenty of light Link to comment
Bonsai Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 The close up photo of the Flourescent Daisy Polyps is interesting -- I didn't realize they had a mat similar to GSP ... purple and spreading. I wonder if they are related to Green Star Polyps? Link to comment
fiction101 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hmm that daisy polyp frag is way too small I believe, you should of been given a much larger piece seeing how they grow very fast. I've never actually seen a 3 polyp daisy frag. Check out Yourreef.com they sells nice frags of them for around $25. Link to comment
