Dryland Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I was at the LFS today to buy another sexy shrimp. The owner always has me net the stuff I want, which I never asked for, but I think is cool. I went in to get the shrimp and the resident GCG emerged from under a rock and perched himself halfway up the wall, about three inches away from the net, as if to say "pick me".

Dryland Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Everything looked great this evening. The new clown goby was very active and took mysis readily. The corals were all looking excellent too: IMG_2925 by dryland970, on Flickr IMG_2924 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment

Dryland Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Looking good! Buzz Your Clown Goby looks awesome! Thanks guys! So, after my gorg died I was a little pissed with the damsel, but kind of wrote it off as having been caused by multiple factors. But today, seeing the huge lumps that the damsel has been leaving on the clown goby, I decided it was time to do some indoor fishing. https://flic.kr/p/q8sP8F'>https://flic.kr/p/q8sP8F'>IMG_2933 by https://www.flickr.com/people/127805643@N06/'>dryland970, on Flickr https://flic.kr/p/qnCdVW'>https://flic.kr/p/qnCdVW'>IMG_2934 by https://www.flickr.com/people/127805643@N06/'>dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Dang- damsel is being aggressive on the goby- ya those damsels can be tough house mates Link to comment
Dryland Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 So the damsel has shown nothing but suspicion for the fish trap. What is more is that I woke up to find my new clown goby deceased, likely as a result of the aggression. It looks like if I want rid of the dasmel I will have to remove the rock work. Link to comment

Wow- sorry to hear that- I think your right - gotta go in and remove the damsel. Damsel are famous for that type of behavior Link to comment

Damsel are famous for that type of behavior Yeah, I went ahead and bought this damsel about a year ago because Julian Sprung recommended them as (relatively) peaceful, and they have these beautiful blue rings in their eyes. I probably won't try and catch him again until I break down the tank for my next move in February or March, but after that he is going to the LFS where they have a display tank with a group of these village belle damsels. The question is, what fish, if any, should I replace him with? Link to comment

The question is, what fish, if any, should I replace him with? Your tearing down your tank in Feb. or March? Moving? Are you going to keep the same tank or get another one? Blenny's are cool and relative peaceful. Clowns and Chromis are always an easy keep too but that clown goby was nice! Link to comment

Blenny's are cool and relative peaceful. Clowns and Chromis are always an easy keep too but that clown goby was nice! The GCG was awesome, I would like to get another someday. I am only moving across town and will be keeping the tank the same. The idea of getting a juvenile clownfish is really growing on me. I know it would eventually need a bigger tank, but I am planning to upgrade to a bigger tank in a year... Link to comment

Tsubatsu Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm sorry to hear about your GCG, man! When you upgrade, I recommend a 20L Nuvo Fusion! I'm getting mine in a few days and I'm stoked about getting it set up. I'll start my own thread then, as well. As far as fish goes, I would get a bangai cardinal (or two if your larger tank will support it!). Link to comment

Dryland Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I just got back after a week away, and the tank looks awesome! I cleaned the glass and snapped some photos this evening. My corals don't look this good when I am here to maintain the tank, so clearly I am doing something wrong. I couldn't get any good photos of it, but the PE on my M. Setosa is better than I have ever seen it.

Dryland Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 The tank has been getting a good amount of natural light, the low angle of the sun makes it through the window of my basement apartment. IMG_2958 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Nice! So did you ever get the triton salt or salt supplement ? Link to comment
Tsubatsu Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Man, your tank is looking awesome! Link to comment
Dryland Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Man, your tank is looking awesome! Thanks! Nice! So did you ever get the triton salt or salt supplement ? I did get some of their salt mix. It came in a little bucket that only makes like 50 liters. It's supposed to be mixed all at once, and I don't have a container big enough so I haven't used it yet. I think I'm just going to hold onto it for a while until I build a larger, more triton-appropriate tank. Link to comment

Dryland Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I want a trachy with a badness. I don't think I have room though. Maybe I could create enough space by mounting some of the corals to the rock work... Link to comment
Dryland Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I moved the last of my frags up onto the rockwork today, in anticipation of some new beasts that will be arriving soon. IMG_3045 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment
Dryland Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I got a set of extension tubes for my camera today, I'm trying to get better at photographing my tank. Here are some shots from this evening: IMG_2587 by dryland970, on Flickr IMG_2578 by dryland970, on Flickr IMG_2595 by dryland970, on Flickr IMG_2622 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment
