I tried the pipe and I think that helped. For the last day he's been in his burrow constantly. As far as I can tell he hasn't eaten in a week though, and I'm starting to worry about starvation. I'm also having trouble getting my new lawnmower blenny to eat. He won't take nori or mysis. He may...

I don't have anything useful to suggest, but good luck figuring it out and I hope it doesn't cause a serious problem. It's always amazing to me when new stuff turns up in an aquarium that's been humming along for some time.

Hi @bondolo! I'm glad to hear you might have a dbtc coral from me. Most of the corals I have came from either DBTC or BAR swaps, though I'm not sure what came from who anymore. If you wouldn't mind sharing a frag or two that would be awesome... I could use a few right now. Only if it's not a...

Thanks, @Coral reefer !

Hi Jim. Thanks!

If it's not too late, I'd love to be included in the drawing as well.

Thanks, @denzil!

Do you have any baffles in your sump between the skimmer and return pump? They can help a lot with bubbles. (from http://www.reefaquarium.com/2012/some-sump-basics/ )

You too, @patchin! @Enderturtle : Thanks for the advice. He calmed down yesterday and is now sort of in a burrow, under the edge of a rock. I may try burying a piece of pipe. He might feel more secure with that.

Very interesting! Can't wait to hear what's causing this. The GFO and sulfates both sound like good guesses to me. Not to derail but does anyone else use a digital refractometer? I've been using one for years and absolutely love it.

How did you get that picture of me working on my tank? :D Happy New Year!

I've thought about this before, but in my experience a peltier cooler has a hard time maintaining cold enough temperatures. It would definitely need to be very well insulated if you're going that route. Would love to see what you come up with if you try it though!

I've had an engineer goby for years now. He's always stayed burrowed under rocks, just peeking his head out to grab food. However, I moved the rockwork around a couple days ago and since then he hasn't found a burrow again. He's now spending all of his time either out on the sandbed or even...

Here are a couple photos of my tank's current state. I have a lot of bryopsis but I'm starting to get a handle on it. (There was hair algae too, but now that's mostly gone) There's also a minor dino outbreak right now, probably due to stirring up the sand a lot recently. Sorry for the poor...

Thanks, @Enderturtle and @Newjack!

Hi Jon. Thanks. Not sure yet but hopefully I'll be able to make it!

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I was involved in the club. This last year was especially crazy and busy for me. I'm finally finding a little time to spend on my tank again though so I thought I'd check in and say hi. I had a tank crash about 6-8 months ago (when I was super busy and...

That's good advice, Mark. Thanks.

Damn. I just had two fish die within the last 24 hours. The first was a diamond goby that I noticed dead on the sand yesterday evening. It had been a little skinny lately so I thought possibly it wasn't getting enough food and I just hadn't noticed the signs of starvation. A few hours later I...

Thanks, guys. I highly recommend it, Denzil. It's an amazing experience.
