What are the chances my 4 year old yellow watchmen goby will accept another pistol shrimp? It's looking confused. Sitting in unusual (for it) places.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

I googled it, and it looks like I might be able to pair the goby with another?

In my Evo, I have a rarely seen yellow watchmen goby with a pistol shrimp. I was looking at shutting down the tank and was going to transfer them to the 15g cube, but I might be able to add them to the 75 instead?

I'm reading the males are vibrant yellow and females more grey. Plus they can change when needed. So I've got a male in the 75, and a female in the Evo based on color. Plus a pistol shrimp.

Might just give it a go.

If they pair, yes. I've seen trios of Gobies with a pair of shrimp. Sometimes they pair, sometimes they don't.

Really like the 'no controller' aspect.

Ducks!

I also 3d printed a feeder porthole thingy and it works great.

In reef News... I've been gone a lot, going with my hubs on his random adventures, so they've just been doing thier things. Did lose a single dwarf pony last night I noticed, but all others look fine and eating normally. My condy anenome has been sad lately. It seems to perk up for a day with a few drops of iodine, so I'm thinking I need to spend a little time with some large water changes to get the water back balanced. Admittedly I haven't done a water change or any dosing of anything in the Eel tank in forever and there's been substantial Coraline growth so I'm sure things are out of whack.

Look at that sad thing.

Few hours after iodine.

Should I just give up on ATOs?

I just got to installing my newest one. Pump doesn't work. Not one time. Tried unplugging. Tried tapping. It has the light on indicating it should be filling, but no filly fill.

I don't even know anymore....

Is there air trapped? Try without the lube first.

I really hope you get this working. Im clueless

Air trapped where? What are we lubing?!

 

[Mhamilton0911]

It's literally the easiest set up. It should just work. I'm assuming a faulty pump. I've emailed them.

This can happen. I wish i knew if any pump could work. I never got into atos because of pump failures

Maggie, are the two plugs different? Are you certain that they're plugged in correctly? No pump into sensor and vice versa?
