So about 2 weeks ago my wive calls me at work and says the Clown Goby is stuck to the filter. I was very ****ed off he was a really cool fish and I only had him like a week. Then about an hour later she calls me again and tells me she just found the dog playing with the Magenta Dottyback. Well he must have jumped ship. Now the kicker Yesterday I come home and the Royal Gramma is stuck to the filter. All water levels are good. All corals open up nice and big. The Clownfish seem happy as can be. I don't know what is going on.

you can possibly get some kind of sponge prefilter on the aquaclear intake.but you might have to clean it a lot.just a thought so your fish dont get stuck anymore

Well now they are the only ones in the tank and it will probably stay that way. I just started up another 10 gallon on the other side of the couch so I might but a firefish or two in it. We will see. It will be more of a frag tank so when things get to big I can trim them... With the new lights everything seems to be growing more. We will see.

lets see how these grow. Hopefully I can get things to start growing faster so I can start fragging more ad trade some more.

Just remember patience! You have a LOT of coral in there--- take a look at your tank at night and be sure that none of those LPS are sending out long sweepers at night harming the ones around them.


Give the tank a bit more time before adding many more LPS.

Looks great. I have a 10, and am a bit jealous of your aquascaping. At the moment mine looks like a random pile of rocks, lol.
