TBone

We got the great white out !!!!

Not at all sure what that means...

Not sure why the photos above are not showing.

If you click on the pic it will send you to a visible version in my gallery.

I just sold the lights and the substrate. I have a few mushroom rocks left. Pictured below

I'm setting these guys up with a temporary light.

Nice!

Gone... for real this time lol

Thanks everyone!

Picked up a couple of nice rocks from TBone yesterday!

Gorgeous tank! That condy looks really happy too

Thanks for the rocks! Look great in our tank!

YW! Thank you for getting me a step closer to breaking down the tank. I'd love to see your tank. Hopefully you'll get a chance to upload some photos to the ARC gallery.

Update on what is left:

note the 12" ruler for size reference. These were out of water for weighing and the pic only. They are back in the tank.

The substrate will be available after the gobies are gone.

Unfortunately it did break all the way off... there's a little bit still attached to the rock and most of it in another piece that I have set on the rock to see if it opens...

poor thing They can regenerate. Hopefully there is enough left on the rock. I was seeing about an inch growth a year. It probably won't hurt to make sure there is a good amount of calcium, especially since you have lots of crabs using it up in there. Good luck!

They're BIG. Much bigger than my other fish. And my rockwork isn't on the glass and didn't want to chance any issues. The rocks that you sold me look great in my tank though! Unfortunately the bivalve broke in transit

Oh no! Did it break all the way off? They're really good at growing back and will still open up if a little broken. Hope it recovers well!

Glad all the rock looks great

Gone:

LG Rock (was $140)

Budding green/purple mushroom rock ($40)

Pencil urchin

lol... still available

There's nothing wrong with the fish I promise. Just make sure to know about engineer gobies

You can get them today. What time are you available?

Did they grow up together? I have a 9 inch adult but have never tried to introduce others. He's got the bottom of the tank full of tunnels.

I had one for a few months before I got the second one. I never saw any fighting. When they were smaller they hung out together but now they seem to like it either way. After I sell a rock and "reset" the tank they are as likely to dig one cave and share it as they are to build two and be apart. These two are about 12" long. From my experience it seems that one of these guys does about as much to the tank as a horde of them can so as long as they have room to stretch out I don't see any problems.

They are still available!

I'm breaking down my tank and these are the last fish I have to sell.

I feel bad stressing them out every time a sell a rock. I have to collapse their caves so they're out in the open and they have to rebuild their caves all over again.

They are cool looking, awesome community fish. I never had any problems with aggression or predation. However, I did not keep really small fish or shrimp to test them with.

These are the old prices. They are $10 each now

You just have to make sure your rocks are resting on the glass bottom so they don't shift when the substrate is moved around.

What I did was space several pieces of live rock resting flat on the glass bottom and then used those as the base for my larger rocks. The "gobies" dig out the substrate in between the bottom pieces and have the larger rocks as their cave top. Once I figured that out I never had problems with rocks falling or shifting.

does anyone know if an engineer goby will pair up with a pistol shrimp?

I don't know about pistol shrimp but these two did not like sharing their caves with a serpent star. They would pick it up and take it outside the cave-- gently.

i hope to have tank filled and going by this weekend with dry rock.. so i will check up back with you if you have a piece or two still left

I'm sure I'll have some live rock left

Gone:

Taco rock $30

some live rock

Ok, so here are a few pictures. It's 30" long and has a 21" square pin power compact smartpaq light in it (10,000K and 460nm). It does not come with stands or legs. The LED looks bluish in the photo but it is white.

Hi,

Thinking about the next time I have to move so I'm trying to decrease how much extra equipment I have.

I have a 30" black power compact light fixture that holds one 65W pc and one led. These two lights have their separate power cords.

I might have stands or legs for it but I will have to look. I had used it for a 29 gallon freshwater tank and plants seemed to like the light.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll post a pic.

Information:

Engineer gobies (not truly a goby) love to dig and will create a cave system under your rocks. Sometimes this ends in their burial

Please keep this in mind if you are thinking about keeping them in your tank. What I did was arrange rocks on the bare bottom and filled in the spaces with substrate. Then I stacked rocks on top, where they were supported only by the rocks underneath and not the substrate. This way the gobies could dig and dig but not cause an avalanche. The two I have spend a lot of time in their caves together so perhaps they are a pair. One seems more plump than the other and for all I know they have eggs under all that rock.

They are not aggressive to any other fish and never bothered any coral in my tank. They do not like cave visitors though. They would gently pick up my serpent star and escort it out of their caves when it came to pay a visit. Not even a tentacle at the cave entrance was acceptable.
