Nana's Reef

Well you might have to dial it down and slowly acclimate to stronger flow.
Did you have koralias before? Koralias put out a much broader flow than mps, the corals might have to slowly acclimate to more focused flow.

 

I've since got it all under control!! Mp10 is set on ecosmart lagoon. Slim skim is now surface skimming like a champ and..I just love these 2 guys Tangaroa Goby and Randells Pistol Shrimp. I've had them now for going on 3 years. I remember when the shrimp was only red/white and now he's got beautiful yellow also.

Yay

 

I know right! This past month has been a rollercoaster ride with me and my tank and anyone else I happened to drag along

 

Haha, glad it's getting better!

 

They are beautiful. How big does the Randell's get? I have one right now with my Hi-Fin Banded Goby and he's about 1" maybe? They are so beautiful but my goby doesn't let the shrimp too far from the borrow, your Goby seems a little more laid back about it. Everytime my Randell Pistol Shrimp get's more than 3/4" away from the borrow to move rocks, the goby whips him with his tail and gets him back in the hole lol, very amusing to watch!

 

The Randalls pistol shrimp's max size is about 1 1/2". They are almost totally blind and keep in constant physical contact with the goby by resting its antennae on the goby's tail and body. In the young you will not see the yellow. The Hi-Fin banded goby is a little more protective then some of the others I've encountered. A lot of this depends on the other inhabitants of your tank. Ones the goby may see as a threat to the shrimp.

 

Today is a very sad day for me. People I love my fish! And whenever I lose one it just tears me up inside.
The minute my lights come on I've got my face in my tank. Looking and checking that all is well. Today it wasn't My lil Clown Goby is gone! Very unusual for her as she's always out and about ready to eat. She was my favorite! Her bright yellow body skipping from place to place always kept my eyes busy. Tiny as she was she took up a lot of space in there with her big personality. I'm going to miss her greatly.

This brings me to a fork in the road as far as fish are concerned. I've only been keeping SW fish for a little over 2 years now. I have to say that it has been very different from keeping FW fish. I have lost more SW fish in the last 2 years then I did FW in 10 years. It seems so much more can happen to SW fish. I hate it especially when they just DISAPPEAR without a trace. There's no closure and for me this is very hard. I'll spend the next couple of days looking/hoping and waiting that she'll pop up somewhere. But deep down inside, I know she wont I keep wondering WTH could have happened to her. She's no where on the floor. Could she be hiding? She never did before. She wasn't sick as of last night when I last saw here at dinner time. Did the Maxi Mini get her? She never went near them though. Did she jump out and 1 of the cats got her? But she never has jumped before. I'm mad cause I had to take my mesh cover off in order to fit my skimmer in the tank. Now I want to take the skimmer out and put the top back on.

I'm gonna miss lil goby......

 

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope she shows up.

 

Ever look at your tank and go...DAMN!! WHERE'S THE GLASS? That's how mine's looking today
