  1. check into thrive, i've been using the alk , cal, mag,pot and bio crush and been doing great for the past few months
  2. try feeding the fish by putting there food in a net for a few dayas and they will swim into the net to eat and just pull them out, you may get more than the wrasse but it works, i also got a wrasse out with a small trout hook and squid

  6. nice video, glad to see he finally paired up with the goby. its awesome watching them come completely out
  7. sorry to hear but glad things are doing well this morning good luck with the recovery
  8. were they white when you got them? I've had a few white ones and was told they are albino. But green algae is there natural food source and that gives them some of the green color, i have read that regular dosing of iodide is also helpfull at keeping them nice and green, but they require it to promote proper molting also. Do you have alot of coraline algae? If that is primaraly what there eating that could also be why. If you dont have enough algae for them try supplementing with some seaweed.

  11. i wondered this as well, also do you have longer rulers? that one doesn't look like it will big enough the measure mine in a few weeks(whistle)
  12. there cool but the polyps get to be around the size of nickels, like mini venus fly traps
  13. want any of these? there popping up all over
  14. Do you know if the pistol was paired with the goby before the lfs got them? Where they bagged together? When I got my pistol he was paired with a black banded goby which I have yet to see, but was told they would do fine with another goby, but the pistol paired up with the watchman the next day. The lfs I got them from said they had been together for a couple months but only watched then for 3weeks before purchase and were bagged together. I doing know what happened to the goby that came with the shrimp.... Maybe if I cleaned the rock out of the sump I would find him like the fairy wrasse that went thru the over flow twice. But I see the goby out alot more than both of them. Hopefully you will get to see them out making a mess stirring up sand soon .
  15. What are you looking for as far as donations for a auction? I have a large rock covered in gsp and palys I can donate if interested, wish I had more for a really good cause. I was a cna for many years and took care of primarily Alzheimer and late stage Parkinson patient's and know first hand how devastating this can be. Jesse I am sorry for your loss, I lost my grandfather before I could get to know him as an adult. I envy the relationship you shared.
