tench1 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Successfully kept this Goby alive. The Court Jester Goby, also referred to as the Rainford's Goby, or Old Glory, was first discovered in the Western Pacific in 1940 by Whitely and gets its name from its brightly colored body. The body is green and blue with horizontal orange stripes running the entire length of the body. The Court Jester Goby is very timid and peaceful and is a great addition to the reef or fish only aquarium. I had tried once, adding directly to the main-display tank, ended up died due to aggression from PBT. It should be kept in an aquarium that is well-established and has live rock and sand on which the fish can graze. It is best to keep only one of this species in an aquarium, unless the tank is large with an abundance of hiding places. It is rarely aggressive towards other species.

I have never been successful with Rainford. For some reason, they dissappear from me. Good job, Frank. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tench1 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Mike: thanks bro! It's successful becos it's in the sump. Have no confident to insert it into the main tank. I bet you can do it as well. Get the new guy healthy and acustomed to your water parameters 1st. Then once it's good enough to battle it out , insert inside your main. Tian: from CF.

tench1 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Am back for second round! Restarted my tank after a year and finally, completed the cycling process. Added 2 reactors that i had found in my stores while clearing the rubbish. - used one connecting in-series with the chiller return for carbon - another as Rowa Reactor, a stand-alone pump. (Should i consider adding that in series after the Carbon? If chemically, there's no issue, by doing that, will save some electricity.) Rescape is another must thing to do. Hated my last one. Full of flaws. This time wise, had made things simpler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter ReDDeviLs Posted July 21, 2014 SRC Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2014 hi bro! what is the flowrate for the chiller? the flow for the carbon maybe too strong. Quote [ ] [ ] Reef Reefing Reefed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member james72 Posted July 21, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted July 21, 2014 Will running the chiller return pump in series with the carbon reactor restrict the flow and lose efficency on the cooling of the tank?

tench1 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi Mike, agreed! Once a reefer always a reefer. Hi Terry, am using ehiem 1260. It's creating a lot of turbulence inside the reactor. Pushing quite a substantial carbon upwards. Luckily I had pull in a stopper mash to prevent all come coming out. Hi James, you are right about the efficiency level. The flow rates sure drop slightly. But I don't find significant prolong in kicking in time. Somehow our ambience temp is the culprit... Will monitor.

tench1 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 This time round, I had replaced my tunze wavemakers with jebao Wp25 x 2. Very effective little toy, completely outrun wavebox. However, the controller is a nuisance and very heng heng, I got lemon one. Now waiting for reef essential to replace the faulty one...
