Jeffo's 115ish

Well that's kinda good,kinda bad. It's great he's eating and very active. But not so great if he's harassing other fish when you're feeding.

Maybe he requires more food when you're tong feeding him. So he's not so hungry or he's just an aggressive d**k

Obviously, I'm guessing at its intelligence, but whenever i feed frozen mysis, he's out and about waiting for the tongs with his shrimp or squid. He doesn't bother or compete with fish for food. I don't turn off flow, so food gets dispersed through out the tank and fish eat at their leisure. Just surprised that a) he even bothered to chase the frozen and b) he was able to actually locate and catch it.

Guess he got tired of living under a rock...

Came home today and my nem had moved to the front facing side of its rock. Never realized how massive it is!

Got a couple more beauties from Sustainable Marine on friday. Can’t get a decent picture of the niger trigger, hopefully after Torx is done fixing my light I’ll be able to. Here’s the scribbled rabbitfish

#%$@&?!!! Just when I thought there was nothing left to buy, no more problems left to solve, I wake up to find the valve on my canister filter leaking uncontrollably. I had planned on putting the eheim canister filter back on my daughter’s tank, but given jebao replacement part are nearly impossible to get on this side of the planet, I guess its going on my tank. All I had time to do is shut down the filter and disconnect the hoses. Is it possible or feasible to use the seachem matrix that’s in there? What do I have to do to it, since it will be sitting in the full canister all day?

Looks like i’m going to have to buy a new filter. Hoses on the eheim are too short, and too skinny to use my inline heater. How long do I have to get a filter before things go downhill?

Sounds like another run of bad luck. Sorry to read this.

I do not think the media will be good for more then a few hours. Depending on the bacteria in the canister, it will start to die off and rot quickly. Your best bet would be to drain and dry the media if you can not keep water moving through it.

That’s pretty much what i figured. Seems a shame the whole filter is junk because of crappy valves.

Found replacement valves in the states, but will be over $50 when it’s all said and done. $50 for valves, or $150 for new penn-plax filter. What would you do?

sump ?

 

[jeffopentax]

sump ?

Nope, done with sumps. Been there, done that, didn’t like it. All was well using canister until the valve failure. I think they are a poor design. Think for peace of mind I’ll just buy a new one with hopefully better valves.

New filter arrived today. What, if anything, do i need to do to the seachem matrix to reuse it? Is it similar to liverock in that there will be dieoff, creating an ammonia spike?

This is what my bullet goby worked on while I was at work.

I had a diamond goby years ago that liked to make sand mountains. Is this what bullet gobies normally do?

My nem, who has been happy happy in the same spot since mid august, decided to go for a walk lastnight. It was about 4” from the powerhead when I noticed, so shut it off. Good thing I did, because it’s now sitting on top of it!

What possesses these things to move to the least desireable spot in the tank?
