    I feed the tank once a day, he comes out and gets it..My shrimp and goby are know in the same burrow but on different ends, i think they are having relationship problems...But maybe they will come back together! haha.

    Same with mine. Goby hides, comes out during feeding and goes back to hiding. My shrimp has it's own den. Not sure if the dens are connected.

    hey man! excellent job on your comeback!

    I was wondering if you could post some pics of your plumbing with your sump out to the side like that? I am wanting to do the same thing.

    You will know when they are paired, they will hang out in the same area 24/7 mine are under the same rock, so they are paired im pretty sure. They are cool.

    I really like my sump on the floor next to the tank. Very easy to work on. + my mangroves have an open top to grow. The refugium is just as exciting to watch as the corals.

    That is the main 2 reasons I want to do mine that way. Easy access, can watch what's going on, room for growth, and the fact that my stand is shaped funky for a bowfront.

    I've been having a tough time getting pics, sorry, camera phone. But it's all tubing, no PVC piping. Attached is what the fuge looks like today.
