Clavius85 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 did you get a lid for him? Not yet. Going to try and get to Lowe's or Home Depot soon and have a small piece of glass or acrylic cut. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 great, it would be a shame if this one jumps out too Citroen clowns are good size gobies for a pico like ours. Link to comment

.Newman. Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 did she look yellow at the store? Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 did she look yellow at the store? Not really. However, I assumed it was due to the crappy lighting. Here's another pic: Link to comment
.Newman. Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 they usually have a yellow-orange coloring... strange, maybe its a different type. how is she eating? any luck yet? Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 they usually have a yellow-orange coloring... strange, maybe its a different type. how is she eating? any luck yet? I'm hoping that once it starts eating it will color up some. It has shown a little interest in some of the foods I've thrown at it so far. I put a tiny bit of each of these foods in the tank earlier: -Hikari Marine-S pellets -NLS small pellets -Prime Reef flake -Instant Ocean marine chips -Instant Ocean omnivore gel -Instant Ocean Cyclop-eeze gel It went after some of the flake but spit it back out. But it appeared to eat a little bit of the gel cyclop-eeze. So I'll put that in first tomorrow when I feed again. I am going to get some frozen mysis and brine tomorrow as I'm out of both.

.Newman. Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 do you have any frozen cyclopeeze? I remember i used FD cyclopeeze to get my clowns to eat on the first day back when i got them. they didnt take much but any was better than nothing. FD cyclopeeze is terrible because most of it just floats, but that is a personal fault of mine because i cannot obtain any frozen type, otherwise i'd have that instead. If you can get the frozen stuff, it's really useful for times like this. Link to comment

I'm encouraged by the interest the new goby showed in some of the food. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 The goby appears to like Prime Reef flake! Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Picked up some frozen food today from Petsmart. Thankfully they had Hikari Mysis Shrimp. I also got some Marine Cuisine and Brine Shrimp. This fish will have no excuse not to eat. I literally have like 20 different foods now... Link to comment
.Newman. Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 lol, sounds like she's eating flake which is great. what happened to the green birdsnest, i do not see it in there anymore? Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 lol, sounds like she's eating flake which is great. what happened to the green birdsnest, i do not see it in there anymore? I fed some mysis and the goby went crazy for it. So that's good news. The green birdsnest bit the dust. And I'm trying to nurse the other birdsnest back to life. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 darn, but it seems like your non-bird SPS are doing great! Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 darn, but it seems like your non-bird SPS are doing great! Yeah, they all seem to be doing fine. I haven't been dosing 2-part lately. So I haven't noticed a lot of growth. Which is fine though. As long as they continue to do well in this tank I'll be happy. Hopefully I'll have everything transferred over to the new tank in about a month. Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bought a strip of TrueLumen 453nm Actinic Blue LEDs for moonlight. Eventually I'll use them on the 10g but for now I've rigged them on my PAR38 to provide some moonlight to my pico... and it is PERFECT. I may leave them on 24/7 to add a little extra blue to my PAR38 (which is about 12K). Here's a video, pictures don't turn out well: http://youtu.be/QIRbwQnJLIg?hd=1 Link to comment
.Newman. Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 quality actinic lighting. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 quality actinic lighting. I highly recommend these TrueLumen LED strips. I may get another one when I get the new tank setup. Link to comment
