Hi Vlamingi bro, yup, the coraline algae will take some time.. hehe.. ya just a newbie, only 1 year odd into the hobby...

Nice job for a newbie... Perhaps you could add the Part A-B by aquapharm... It helps to make your pH stable and also maintain Calcium and Alkalinity at acceptable levels which help accelerate coraline algae growth...

ya, they are usually quite timid, this goby has been with me for more than a year, used to hide alot in my 2ft tank, only comes out to feed, but it's happier in my 3FT , almost out for the whole day, only sleep at night.. :)

Nice setup. Can see that you must have lots of patience in the setup. Ya, purple goby is shy. Mine also hiding and will surface in the morning to eat. Always compared mine with those selling in the shop....somehow i feel those in the shop are more purple....maybe mine eat untill too fat and the colour has been diluted.....any advice to maintain their colour? Thanks.

Luckily so far, I've been able to maintain/improve the colour of my fishes. I try to feed them small portions several times a day , as fishes in the nature tend to feed throughout the day, in a aquarium setting, of cos, that is not possible due to our work schedule and so on, but I do make an effort to replicate that as close as possible. As I understand from some reading, this would help the fishes to retain the nutrients/proteins much better than a 1-time heavy feeding as they tend to defecate food at an increased rate over a long period. I also try to provide a balance diet of high protein food such as cyclopleeze and mysis together with pellets and seaweeds. Perhaps you should try varying their diet? :)

Thanks for the advice. I mixed cyclopleeze(dry) with frozen cube mysis and brine and mixed with vitamin and garlic guard. Feed them morning and night. Also feed them mixed pellet - spectrum, formula 2 and another brand from AM. Also feed them flake cyclopleeze. This will be their weekday diet. For weekend, i will give them live brine shrimp or mysis(red colour one...always confused....wahahaha). For seaweed, they dont like or dont eat. So i will buy red bamboo for them. My flame angel only eat pellet.....so everyday got to feed a variety to suit different fishes in my tank....purple goby got different orgin? maybe like royal gamma - braz. is not as attractive as carib. one. Anyway...seeing the fishes swimming happily....one will feel happy also. Me also will be upgrading from 2 ft cube to 3 ft once i get my new flat....may need your advice on the scaping...hehe

what i did initially is to cut/chop the seaweed into very small pieces, like flakes, and i feed it together with their normal food mix. after sometime, the fishes will recognize it as food, and now i'm able to feed the seaweed on its own and in bigger pieces.. hopefully that works for u!

Past couple of weeks has been busy for me.. My 2 mth old Teco TR20 has some thermostat issue and it took a couple of services for them to fix it.. fortunately i had a external thermostat to cut off my chiller at 24 degrees, if not, my poor fishes would be gone.. :angel:
