Pull it
Quote:
Sometimes it is better to just "weed" your tank. Pull off what you can and let your CUC do the rest. I picked my Rainford up at Red Coral for $25. I don't know if I got the last one or not but I think Aquarium Illusions had some also. They are great. I was on the fence with info about it sifting or not... always conflicting info on the web... but I put him in yesterday and today he is definitely sifting my sand. And again he will graze on hair algae but I do not think he could eliminate it all as you have a good growth going on. Pull some. Keep your parameters in check and it should be fine. One thing to watch as well.... if your bulbs get older a poor spectrum can also contribute to hair algae growth. I know your tank is newer so it's food for thought. If you start seeing algae, more than normal, and your bulbs are hitting the 8 month mark or so... consider that as a possibility if everything else is in check.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Here are some pics of the new tank mates, Pom Pom Crabs, Rainfords Goby, Tail Spot Blenny, Yellow Clown Goby.
And thanks to noirsphynx for picking up the barnacles for me! They look great and hopefully the blenny will make it home       Last edited by jphong; 11-01-2010 at 04:17 PM.

Quick update:
Pom pom crabs showing eggs a few weeks ago, thought Id share some pictures. Made me happy since something must be going right with the tank after so many things starting to go wrong. Lost the blenny and yellow clown gobies (gobies disappeared after moving the live rock around as I was trying to rescape the tank - reminder to take out the livestock when doing major changes). The frogspawn and hammer heads werent looking that great for over a week and I thought I was going to lose a few heads so did daily 10% water changes. They seem to be coming back the last few days which Im glad about. Will post new pics when I get some more time but here's one for now:  Thanks for lookin

sorry to hear about the fish.....it sometimes seems hard to get clown gobies eating, but it sounds more like you had a mini spike from the scape redux....did you have the rock out of the water for any period of time?

I was sad when you told me about the blenny but to have two more fishies die......
 so sorry to hear that. Clown gobies can be so finiky to get to eat. I've had 4 of them, two I could get to eat but two wouldn't(no matter what I tried). I finally picked up another on Saturday from Steve that should be eating .I'm super happy for you that the pom pom female is carrying eggs  You'll soon see her releasing teeny weeny babies but they'll just be good food for everyone  Do you still have the two males?
