There is growth tips on the Ponape birdnest. I suppose I could get better growth if my parameters had been more stable. Dosing manually is tricky too.

Yes I should give up the dart gobies, not fun seeing a few $2-$3 fish missing everytime. Now the tank is between 26-28 degrees depending on my ambient room temperature.

My livestocks now include:

1 x Leander plumosus shrimp.

3 x Dicordipinna griessingeri gobies

3 x eviota gobies

1 x Blue stripe pipefish

1 x tail-spot blenny

1 x blue legged hermit

1 x hawaiin halloween hermit

2 x tuxedo urchins

30+ mini "abalones". Started off with 4 but they bred in the tank. I suppose the spawnings feed the SPS and gorgonian as well.

[stevenkoh08]

will ur tail spot blenny disturb ur sps??

will ur tail spot blenny disturb ur sps??

Nope. It's a very good algae eater. It cleans the glass real well.

Sad to hear about the dart gobies...

I used to keep neon tetras, and often found them out of the tank on some days. My dad ever witnessed a lizard going real close to the tank when the lights were switched on in the middle of the night, so we suspected they were the culprits.

What are your opinions on the PAR38 so far?

They have worked very well. The spread is a little narrow as I am using 40 degree optics. 60 degree optics should have been a better choice.

So bro, can 1 spotlight cover 1ft x 1ft area?

Depends on the optics and the height you place the spotlight.

Your SPSes are looking good! Can't wait to see them grow and fill up the top. You won't have regrets changing to crystal glass.
