weeber Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 well i guess the dracula goby won but fell free to vote if u dissagree. Link to comment
weeber Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 well i know that the dracula goby won but i would like to have some input from somebody who has or has had a dracula goby or even better both fish because i resently heard that the dracula goby is an aggressive fish. and i just got back from a vacation and my tank was dirty but the coral grew majorly although my yuma that was a project coral died but i think the blasto will make it.

Im excited about these guys they had some nice hitchhicker which are a purple shroom and an unidentified sps.

weeber Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 well again i got lazy and forgot to get pics up some im downloading them now so im thinkin i might get a green banded goby for the tank instead of a dracula goby or a hi-fin goby because i like them and i shouldnt have to deal with aggresion and a quick question, my nitrites and ammonia are high and im feeding every other day so wat should i do to lower them?

MGDMIRAGE Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Cool tank, green banded gobies are awesome but short lived, 1 - 2 years. Sounds like you are cycling again. I didn't read everything in post so not sure what you have in there, but don't add anything until it all settles down. If you currently have livestock i would be changing water small and frequently.

weeber Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 well to help lower my nitrates and ammonia i would like to get a protien skimmer and was woundering if anybody has any suggestions for a skimmer i can use in the AP 12 that will fit in the tank or a hang on the back skimmer that is compatible.

weeber Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 I am going to start this thread back up. the reason this thread was inactive for so long was because my tank was doing really bad due to a nitrogen cycle and i lost many corals so i kind of lost hope in the tank. But since then that has changed and my tank is doing better. I did a huge water change and cleaning about 2 months ago and took out all dead and dying corals to hopefully put an end to what they call a nitrogen cycle which was wat was killing all of my corals. Now my tank is on the road to recovery and it is doing good but sadly i lost some nice corals luckily my plate coral and some others i like survived. I still to this day do not know wat started the nitrogen cycle and when it started but at my best guess the cycle was going on for at least 2 months before i fixed it. i will post pics of the corals lost and NEW CORALS and FISH in a bit!!!!!

weeber Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 PICS!!! here are some of the corals that died. this one might make it because it is still a little speck of flesh left that looks like it is growing. Still if it lives i will call it the toughest coral EVAR this was a sweet SPS that came on my trumpet corals that looked like it could have been a sunset monti but it died. 2 of my 3 sexy shrimp died but i got 2 new ones. the orange polyps on this piece died but the gsp lived. i will post pics of the corals that made it on another post soon.
