Hi garefferman, yup they're camel backs. These are one of the few new purchases for this tank. I've not been a fan before but now I don't know why - theyr'e really nice shrimp. You can see them in a sort of crevice in the live rock in the pic. They pretty much set up home here. I have a purple...

Hi NewEnglandReef, yeah the pistol shifts a lot of sand. I set up a very specific cove in the corner of the tanks specifically for the goby pair. I figured that the shrimp wouldn't wander outside of the cove and so far this has proved true. It's just too exposed to move beyond the cove for him...

Here's a couple more of the Gobi Shrimp. You can just see the sand flying up behind him as he's digging another trench into the burrow. The Gobi stands guard most of the day and bats him down the hole if something gets too near.

Here's some shots of my RSM250. I set it up a few months ago using stock from another tank that I was running down, so it's a bit light at the moment. The Gobi shrimp is quite interesting. He digs and cleans the burrow all day long whilst the Gobi stands guard. They retire at night and he digs...

Thanks for the welcome nano. Hi Reefmack, yup, I have a RSM 250. I've had a few setups in the past. I wanted to move my tank to the living room for maximum viewing so decided that it had to look good. So an RSM it was. I've resisted resurecting kit from my graveyard (Halides, skimmers, pumps...

Looks like your substrate has quite large particles. I had a similar effect once when using the Red sea substrate (the large stuff with hollow shell like balls). But now I use a much small sugar grain sized sand and it stays white. p.s. sound like your skimmer isn't working very hard but if...
