Well that was a bit more encouraging! Thanks NikkiT. The watchman goby looks like it was damaged pretty badly. You can see the flesh where his fins used to be. :'( If I wasn't going to pick up a nano tank full of corals tonight, I'd take some pics and put them up here tonight. I have a feeling...

I agree with mnat, you need to get him out of there ASAP. During feeding is your best bet to catch him. Sump is best choice if you plan on keeping him, LFS or a friend is second best option. This is not a shot at you dave83, but more like info for others who might read this thread... A damsel...

The footprint of that Bubble Magnus is 6.75" x 10.5" . That won't fit in your skimmer compartment. I've heard some good things about Bermuda skimmers too. The BPS-3C looks like it would work well for you. It's only 7" x 5". They are a bit expensive, but quality products from what I hear. Just...

Sad news, but thanks for the reply Mike.

Kind of an odd question, but I was just wondering if anyone knew the answer. I have two fish that are missing some fins. One is a percula clown. I bought it as a "baby" and didn't even notice that the two bottom (pelvic) fins were missing completely when I bought it. :-[ There are no scars or...

Hmm, I might be interested in this as an ATO container. I could just get an aqua lifter pump and a float switch and I'm all set. What are the dimensions of the container? Have to make sure it fits on my shelf in my stand. I wasn't planning on going to this months meeting since I'm from south...

EV-120 will definitely fit and is a good skimmer (I use one on my 75g). I was going to suggest the Vertex IN-80, but the footprint is 11.5" x 10.75" so it wouldn't fit.

I kind of like the way you scaped it. What are you going to do about the 100 TDS water in there though? Do you plan on just curing the rock and doing lots of water changes til it's down to zero? Or will you empty it all out and start with new filtered water? I'd vote for the latter because if...

Aw man. Sorry to hear you are having some problems Richie. How did you lose your sps? Was it because you moved the tank? Do you still have a ro/di ? If so, maybe you could just do a 100% water change in bthe rock tub using ro/di and then start dosing again? I'd hate to see you start out in...

Been meaning to make a post here for weeks but it kept slipping my mind. The setup is looking great Richie and I'm glad the minor leak was easily fixed. Sorry about the Bartlett Anthias though, I'm sure it was sad to find him like that. Kudos on all the plumbing work. I'm sure all that hard...

Thanks for checking in Jim. And thanks to everyone else who replied as well. My Ro/Di is only a few months old so I don't plan on getting a new dual stage or even replacing it with a Kati Ani just yet. That seems like the best solution though since my original plan will not work and those...

That red part is what I was worried about and the reason I posed this question here first. I know my idea (and I'm sure I'm not the first person to ever think of it) would stop me from having wastewater. I was just concerned about the impact of recycling the waste and not having an outlet for...

Thanks Phyl! Sadly I wasn't able to make it to MACNA to see this workshop. :'( Are there any online video versions of this workshop? I checked out their website though. All I could find was their "Water Saver" unit that seems to take wastewater from the first membrane and feed it into the...

I don't think he would be able to fit a small mag or powerhead down in the overflow box when he puts the Megaflow kit back in. It looks kind of tight in there even without the durso pipe and/or return pipe. I think I have an idea, but can you show a pic with the Megaflow piping installed with...

After a few incidents where my wastewater collecting trash can overflowed in my garage when making Ro/Di for my tank, I decided to come up with a way to eliminate this problem. My first thought was to install a float switch that would just turn off the flow at a certain level in my trash can...

Thanks everyone!

GOOD NEWS!!! Today, Herman (yellow watchman goby) gobbled up a bunch of black worms! I left all the rock pieces in the QT tank today during feeding and dropped the worms in one at a time. He snuck out and "pounced" on them when they got close to the bottom. I guess he just needed to "hunt" for...

Yea, I was thinking the same thing about risking the others. But I also thought putting him in a better environment might help him survive. It's a catch 22 I suppose. Hopefully some other opinions will give me some direction on that.

First off, thanks for the replies so far. I'll try the algae sheets and see if that works. If not, I'll try live brine... although I would think the black worms would be as tempting as those, but you never know. To answer your questions r2r: I just put the 3 small pieces of rock in there a...
