Not on zeo at all. Just gfo and carbon for me.

I was concerned about him/her dumping sand everywhere as well. It's a diamond watchman goby. It mostly just sifts and dumps right where it's laying on the sand. I have noticed that slowly all my sand is ending up against the back wall of the tank but I think that's more to do with the currents in there. My corals are never under sand. One of the best purchases I've made so far. The first week I had her visibility was poor as all the fines in the sand got disturbed. I put my filter sock back on as I noticed my skimmer not performing with the grains in the water.

Hi Brett

That's pretty much what's happening in my tank right now. Did the filter socks eventually clear up the water? How long before your skimmer started working again?

I do like my pair. They tend to stay within inches of each other at all times. They have built several homes by piling up the sand around "their" rocks. My sand bed is looking much better since introducing them.

It was less than a day after I added the sock that the skimmer started working again so not too bad. It might take you a little longer perhaps as you have more sand/gallon and less return flow/gallon than me...

Pretty entertaining fish to watch. I'll grab at least one more when I transfer tanks.

Just messing around with the new phone. Here's a quick and dirty video:

Ok... have to remove my audio track and re-upload.

Youtube detected copyright music and blocked access to it. Anyone know of a way around this? Seems everyone else has copyrighted music in their videos?

If you have i-tunes, you can purchase license rights to use some artists material. I can't remember what exactly it's called but it's an upgrade...I upgraded my whole library and it cost me around $30ish, once this is done the music has code in it and you can upload to youtube etc.

Excellent vid Brett! Tank is really looking good. The corals look great: nice colouring and PE.
Now lets get some tunes for them to sway back and fro to. :mrgreen:

Nice vid and great P.E. there ! I was about to fire up my popcorn maker and then it was over. That was quick. Gotta make it last. Was gonna say some thing else but will leave it up to someone else. :)

Tank is looking good there Brett. Plenty of fuzz...

(Unsubscribed now that the build is over.)
