Sofar my adorable Pompom crab and the Komohara Blenny have been getting along perfectly. Bumped up my feeding of PE Mysis to a daily regiment... Not taking any chances with that Blenny. Gonna keep his belly full.

I got it working for about an hour where it was skimming nicely and then poof just stopped.... It's super super finicky, but going to do another water change this weekend and maybe look at some other options if I can't get it working like it should.

I've been going nuts trying to get the stock protein skimmer to work. Any tips? I can't get anything from it and I would like it to foam.

Update I bought a Komohara Blenny today to put some more action in the tank. My only concern is for my Pom Pom crab. Curius if he's going to harm him. I was told he would be peaceful as long as I keep him fed. Which I do on a daily basis. I feed PE Mysis for my clown, and the crabs get a couple...

I'm so in love with that Clown! I actually traded my butthead Black & White Puzzle Piece Percula in to my fav LFS cause she kept killing everything in my RSM 130. This one is not shy at all. Comes right up to me for photos, feeding, or even just to say hello... I have him eating PE mysis, and...

I just wasnt happy with that piece in that tank. But I got a few smaller pieces and it looks a bit better now. Tank had a small cycle on the 4th week. Been water changing it twice a week. I used already cured live rock from a spare tank, live sand from spare tank but I cleaned up the sand pretty...

I just bought a new Fluval PS1 Protein Skimmer for it. I drove an hour and a half because no LFS near me had it......I get it home...and it's the wrong one.. I needed the PS2 Mini Protein Skimmer... (face palm) Luckily I had a new AquaticLife Internal Protein Skimmer 115 in the basement...

I bought another new tank ...testing out the Fluval Sea Evo Aquarium Kit (13.5 gal). I bought an awesome piece of live rock (20.lb), but worried the piece is actually too big for this 13.5g tank... it fits perfectly...I plan on putting some coral frags in there to test out the LED's. (I'm not...

Just found a great page. How to drill and Cement your live Rock

Is it easier to drill Live rock wet to make a stackable cave, or what not, or is it easier when it's dry? I'm tearing down and rebuilding my RSM 130. And really want to make a beautiful rock setup, upgrade the lighting, and filtration. What would be the best way to do this? Drill holes, put...

Well I'm sad to say my precious BTA died this morning. Absolutely no clue why. Water tests were fine, nothing in there to bother her. The Maroons didn't like me taking her out, but didn't want her nuking the tank. And O M G the smell! She was fine the day before, and then found her floating...

Well I started with an Olympus E-10 <4.0> about 6 years ago. I absolutely love that camera. For a 4.0 it still takes some wonderful shots. I ended up trying the Canon Digital Rebel. I hated it, my E-10 took much better pictures. So I kept the Olympus E-10, and sold the Canon on Craigslist...

Views of the whole tank. :eye: :eye: Side by side with the 8g <looks monstrous lol> <not sure what this is> Lavender Mushrooms in the back Supposed to be an Orange or Red Hammer Coral Torch coral My refugium/hospital for the Corals I find and try...

Well good news is the tank is still holding up pretty well on day 3. No spikes I keep checking parameters every 12 hours. Yea nervous Betty here. Trying to catch anything going up before it gets out of hand, and bombs the tank. But I have been keeping HUGE eyes on the tank.:eye: :eye: I'm so...
