I agree with this. I too want to see more photos!

Also it feels like its been ages since I've seen you Josh. I miss our random weekly get togethers at the store.

Gonna have to crack the whip on Dave and his crew to get the new shop done then!

I'll try and get a new FTS this week with a camera that is better than my phone.

Why has Mt. Sand appeared in your tank?

I have a Mated pair of Diamond Gobies... and they have setup shop under the rock that is under that pile of sand. I'm not 100% sure on the spawning habits of Diamond Gobies, but the few vids I have found on youtube would suggest this is what they are doing. The Male builds a mountain while the female stay in the burrow.

While very cool that they are spawning.... aesthetically, it drives me up the freaking wall! I typically end up bulldozing it and putting the sand back where it belongs.

Even as I sit here at my desk, I can see the male working away on that mountain, mouthful by mouthful....
