Added my back jebao RW-20 to the tank to kick up the flow, was starting to get a build up of nastiness on the water surface. It is now gone and my corals look pretty happy. Currently running 2 RW-20s, Mp40, and a wp-25. Lotss of flow now.

Some good story's here people keep them coming have an up date on the Harlequin shrimp he has tons of star fish to pick from but tonight decided he wanted to eat my sand sifter lol the only one I paid for and he eats it...... Sorry it took so long to reply I am really busy with the up coming show it's getting crazy lol BUT it's worth it for all of us!!!!!! Question..... I have a large elegance Coral that has detached himself from his skeleton about four weeks ago..... He started floating around so I took him out and put him in the sump. now I understand it is supposed to die but it has been three weeks and two days and it is still alive and well just does not have a skeleton...... What should I do?

years ago I had one do that, what I was told was to put him in a container with some fine rubble, he didn't grow another skeleton but it stopped him from floating around and he lasted another 6 to 8 weeks...

Thanks everyone for the likes, the items I picked up a sea u marine were very nice. The sun coral still refuses to open. I have in shade and low flow. I have been target feeding or trying. I chum the water get a little action then chum again all with flow off. I will need to do the container trick soon. Sea u marine is not a flashy store or even a really large store. But wow they have some nice stock and great prices.

Corals that I've never saw before and huge sizes. Tanks full of healthy fish and some I haven't saw or not in those numbers. They had Six baby cow fish, also a tank of hippo tangs maybe 20 of them.

Long drive a once or twice a year trip.

he has almost doubled size and it looks like he is trying to rip himself apart pulling on the rocks. and his mouth moved from the middle to one side

About 5 months ago I bought a Yellow Watchman Goby, Pistol Shrimp pair from my LFS.

After getting them out of quarantine and into my BioCub 29, the goby disappeared and wasn't seen over that 5 months period. I have my tank in my home office, so I spent 5-9 hours a day looking at the tank (maybe 1 hour actually working) and would see the Pistol shrimp lumbering around doing pistol shrimp stuff, but no goby. I figured he was clean up crew food.

At the LFS last week, I saw a nice blue spotted watchman goby, and picked him up. Put him in QT, get him in the tank yesterday. Today, the Blue Spot is chilling outside of a hole, when my long missing Yellow Goby pops out and looks at me, and then scurries back into his hole.

Freaking lazarous fish right there.

After my epic nuke of my fishes, I cleaned up my tank (almost done the cabinet &$@) and did some massive water changes.

All I had in there was my blond naso, yellow wrasse and mag foxface. I went in to big als in Hamilton, and LO AND BEHOLD. A little baby Niger trigger. I had to have him for 25 bucks lol. Then I saw the baby emperor. Had to have him. And then I saw him. HANNIBAL. THE TUSK FISH. his tail and fins were. Bit ripped up from a puffer war, but he is doing great in my tank now. Finally found a fish to eat those freakin krill I bought.

Corals are growing well, water Params are stable, and I'm only having to clean the glass once a week.

That tiny bag of chaeto I got from Eric has now completely filled my Fuge. Time to cut it back lol.
