I am so so sorry, there are no words. So heartbroken for your family, the tribute was beautiful.

Congrats Ryan, I'm sure we'll talk more in person or email but quickly while I have a second. Normally your spaflex tubing comes down from your drain bulkhead, at least mine does LOL and I have normal clear tubing going from my return pump into my return bulkhead. Don't glue anything.... you...

Thanks Dave! I'll have to try adding a couple more sponges maybe. I'm also having trouble with it going back up the middle tube internally (for instance when lets say I turn it on after fussing with it and realize it's shooting purigen into my sump ::) ) then it sneaks up that tube when the...

Finally purchased a 2nd ViaAqua phosban reactor to use exclusively with Purgien. Is anyone else here running one, can you give me any tips/photos on how to set it up (sort of leaving the purigen inside of a bag) so that the little beads don't escape though the reactor? Thanks!

Lets see some updated photos Ryan (with a background I hope ;) ) PS: I know I owe you an email response too

Would a birdsnest survive in a stock 8g biocube? It's only 2 18watt PC bulbs. I have a small frag of pocillopora that I could try... think that might work? I've grown that decently in PC before but in my 24g aquapod.

Got an ID on him last night from WWM, Emerald coral goby / Paragobiodon xanthosomus. Apparently it lives its whole life in a birds nest coral, usually in pairs or small communities of females w/ one male. Of course I have the poor lonely little guy in a 8g stock biocube which I don't think can...

Well I still have no idea exactly what he is, though I've found references to other "furry/fuzzy" gobyish (not true gobies from what I'm reading) such as:Caracanthus Typicus/ fuzzy nut goby so at least I think he's healthy whatever he is.

We've named him Dewy since he is the exact color of mountain dew... he's seriously like a yellow/green highlighter color.

Scruffy hulk is good and LOL LOL LOL @ the Irish goby comment, he did arrive today!

What about several vanderbilt chromis? They school also from what I've read, not sure if they tend to be longer lasting then the standard blue/green chromis which I think everyone starts out with several and end up with one.

Hmm... so I have a rare, furry headed mountain dew green clown goby... lets get with listing the creative new names! Furry Dewdrop clown goby?

Posted on RC earlier as I wanted to get as many eyes as possible... anyone here have any ideas? What is he? Is the "furriness" a disease or just a weird fish trait? http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1600158

I have this in my sump and in my overflow... never makes it to the main tank (or if it does its eaten, I do have a couple red mithrax crab so maybe if it gets in the main they eat it). The bubbles are pretty easy to pull off w/o popping.

sorry I don't have that model, you might want to ask the mods to move this to the nano section I'm sure a few people there have the same tank. Did you read up on nano-reef.com? When I originally set up my 24g aquapod and my 8g biocube I researched there extensively. For the 8g I did do a fuge...
