    Now it's my frogspawn, what happened?..-MYSTERY SOLVED!.

    I've never heard of a watchman goby eating a coral. They don't have teeth for one. Lots of things eat dead and dying stuff though :P

    Now it's my frogspawn, what happened?..-MYSTERY SOLVED!.

    To skim or not to skim ?

    Skimmers are not very efficient on small tanks, there just isn't enough water volume/organics to keep a constant foam head. To make it really work...
