Search Results for ‘sand sifting goby’

Hello all. Just looking for some input on my pink spot goby. We've had him for about 3 months now, used to be very active but after we upgraded tanks last month, all he does is hide in his cave. Very difficult to catch him in action. However, he did come out to feed. Now I am a little worried...

I would like to add a sand sifting goby to my 29 gallon tank to help stip up the sand bed some. Most of them i have read about require a larger tank. Are there any species that would do well in a tank that size?

Brittle Sea Star, Fancy Orange Spotted Goby (Indo-Pacific) Royal Gramma Basslet (Caribbean) - Small Bumble Bee Snail x 5 Emerald Crab x 2 Brittle Sea Star Green Lettuce Nudibranch

How do you keep the sand bed nice and clean and white?

This all started with a 72 gal fish only bow front. Then we saw all the reef tanks set up at the fish stores and HAD to have one of those too. The first one was a 13 gal with PC's which was quickly followed by a 42 with T5's, which still wasn't big enough so we converted that one into a 180 with...

i have a light yellow goldish film on my sand and upper rocks the new white ones i put it. I just bought halides last week. 2 150watt 10k. I ran them for only 2 hours a day for the first week. this week their photo period is 8 hours, coming on one at a time for the first 1/2 hour. here is a...

My live rock and sand is turning brown. Is this the diatom bloom? It looks awful! My tank has been up for about 2 weeks. :confused:

I have a long time established system and noticed my Substrate had lost its brilliant white appearance in some of the more open areas. I thought I would try some Sand Sifting Gobies to help things out. <O:p</O:p Man, these guys are busy at work all day long. They have help sift my Substrate and...

Ok, so I am "allowed" to use my 180 in the living room. We've decided that the living room carpet can be sacrificed :) I've cleaned out the tank, here is a "before" picture. I'll have to reinforce the stand and fix the canopy to open in the front. (stand and canopy I'm going to use aren't in the...

Hey Guys, I'm having a 2nd diatom bloom (at least I think that is what it is...)in my tank and was wondering if you have any suggestions. I went through a bloom about 3 weeks ago and afterwards, the sand cleared up nicely. I increased the light time again (to about 12 hrs of act and 10 of wh)...

Hello i was just finishing up a water change and noticed this on my rocks I assume its algea but does anyone know the cause by chance?

Help...... I was out of town for 8 days and when I got home my tank sitter said that my Green Polyp hadnt been opening up at all.... It looks very brown and unhealthy.... I immediately took my water to get checked and my PH was 7.6 Every thing else was good. SO, I came home and added some...

rocks or sand bed? i have no sand sifting goby or anything else that has a habbit of dumbing sand on corals

I've been plagued by the ich gods again putting my guard down for a year. I'm leaning toward taking out all my fish and put into hypo salinity, leaving the display fallow, but I'm afraid if I use the tank I have, it will be too small. This happened a year ago and put fish in a 10 gallon tank and...

:help: Hi everyone ... I have set up a 180 ltr Juwel Rio tank. The tank is filtered by 20/21kg of good quality Fiji Rock and I am using a Deltec 300 protein skimmer. Circulation is provided by a Koralia 3 turbo pump and the original internal Juwel power head. Currently I have three yellow...

I've got 3 nassarius snails from my 30 gallon tank that I was thinking of transferring to the 90 gall BB. I know that they like to live in sandbeds and wondered if they'd be OK on a BB tank. Anyone have ideas?

Hey there, Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a couple of things for me. Firstly I've had some weird white growth (kinda tube-like) growing on my live rock. Anyone know what it could be? Second thing is my sandbed seems to be collecting a lot of dirt. It gets weird little bits of...

Well......Ive got some choices now, and quite a bit of room so I have options. I just sold a couple things taking up space in the garage and driveway and Im taking part of it to restock. Corals are my main priority, so I dont intend on buying any high dollar fish, but im open to...
