I really like this trumpet... I've never seen this color before.

Welcome Jen.
Nice setup! Lots can be done keeping smaller tanks, which was usually discouraged just a few years ago. Nano-Reefs have become very popular lately.:) http://www.nano-reef.com/

[reefboy]

your bulbs may be getting old when did you last replace them?

[jennyf78]

i just got the light brand new last month!

[reefboy]

then its just the diffrence in lighting then

[jennyf78]

thats a bummer. it was really pretty, maybe i should give it back. so someone with better lighting can enjoy its color.

First...welcome... and do not give it back...sometimes corals lose color slightly and then color back up...keep it and see what happens.

Looking at the pics some more...that is a huge single head of a trumpet...how long does the base reach down? It looks alot like a small open brain.

[spayne]

Kudos to you with your success with a ten gallon nano! Wowsers! Nanos aren't easy... I know. I broke my 20L down right before Turkey Day. (laugh)

[tidalsculpin]

Welcome and nice little tank!

[jennyf78]

the base was cut verry short. and the single head is about 2 thumbs big.

[siskiou]

I started out with a nano-reef (20H) 4 years ago and it's still going strong!

Congrats on the nice tank!
I really want a Rainford's gobi, but haven't had much luck finding one that eats prepared foods.
How long have you had your's?

[jennyf78]

thanks siskou, ive had my gobi for almost a year. and mine eats mostly algea and sifts the sand. He has never eaten prepared food. exept when i had him in a hospital tank i did feed him live brine shrimp. but that was only for a week. i have read where people think that they are like mandran gobies, but i dont think so, he wouldnt have been alive this long. and every morning at the same time when the lights come on he comes out of his cave and lays one healthy poop! lol so i know he is getting enough to eat. he is the only original fish left from when i stated my tank. i use to have a clown gobi also that passed away in november.
