Hi Fuel Bro Keep us update whether your 2 x Dicordipinna griessingeri gobies do fight. Mine are "fighting" all the times. Maybe both same sex.

Supposedly some rare SPS given to me. Not sure what it is though. It had turned brown previously. Now with dosing pump and running ultralith the colors are slowly coming back. Anyone who says LED can'

impressive. any good growth spotted?

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

There is growth tips on the Ponape birdnest. I suppose I could get better growth if my parameters had been more stable. Dosing manually is tricky too.

Always something more important than fish.

oh so sad to hear bout ur dart goby i suggest u should put a dart board inside so they dart themself agaist the board than jumping out of the tank :eyebrow:

ha ha jorking so wat temp u kept for ur this tank sps

Yes I should give up the dart gobies, not fun seeing a few $2-$3 fish missing everytime. Now the tank is between 26-28 degrees depending on my ambient room temperature.

My livestocks now include:

1 x Leander plumosus shrimp.

3 x Dicordipinna griessingeri gobies

3 x eviota gobies

1 x Blue stripe pipefish

1 x tail-spot blenny

1 x blue legged hermit

1 x hawaiin halloween hermit

2 x tuxedo urchins

30+ mini "abalones". Started off with 4 but they bred in the tank. I suppose the spawnings feed the SPS and gorgonian as well.

I used to keep neon tetras, and often found them out of the tank on some days. My dad ever witnessed a lizard going real close to the tank when the lights were switched on in the middle of the night, so we suspected they were the culprits.

What are your opinions on the PAR38 so far?

They have worked very well. The spread is a little narrow as I am using 40 degree optics. 60 degree optics should have been a better choice.

Updated top-down shots. Might be changing the tank to crystal clear glass.

Nice shot with the Cree lights reflection looking like a hovering UFO.
