Do you have a picture of the skeleton, or the coral when it deflated/closed?

I've gotten a chance to speak with the designer of the lights (real stand up guy), and I am actually very impressed with the output from this LED fixture. The price is a bargain as well, all things considered. Plus, those 20w LEDs are bad-ass! The entire fixture is bright. I'll definitely be...

If possible, removal to a QT may not be a bad idea, as iCon mentioned.

The LEDs won't fire on at full power -they just flicker, or don't come on at all.

One of my bulbs just died -looking to purchase another, but Nanocustoms, and Nanotuners are both out of stock. Any other leads?

I've never bothered feeding any Capnella I've ever had. I wouldn't worry too much.

Thanks for the great read Rich!

Bubbling is not an effective way of determining the health of a BTA IME.

Thanks G! Out of curiosity, does anyone know the average price for an ORA Mandarin Goby? I've called a LFS in SF and was quoted $30. Another LFS in the bay area quoted me $60. Pretty substantial difference, so I am looking for some others insight.

I thought about doing this once :)

I cannot wait until I Jeremy works his magic on that tank!

Where did you get yours Gonzo? :) I prefer to get one from a LFS where I can do as you did -observe which specimens are eating pellets, and which are not before making a purchase. If I order from Live Aquaria, I wouldn't be able to have this luxury.

Unfortunately, many of the colors you see in most, if not all, of peoples pictures of their coral has been processed through some sort image editing software. When you say, do you mean no image editing at all, or not not using the specific program photoshop? Most people use image...

I was planning to have just one in my display tank, but I wanted to get two to have QT'd, and trained :) The one that I can train [assuming I can do at least that] will go into my display, the other I'll keep in another tank, or sell to someone else.

You are one lucky guy to have [had?] that spotted mandarin you had in your 100g (S. picturatus, IIRC). I wish I could have the same luck as you, but I incidents like yours are far and few, I'm sure :D Yes, I've heard some stories about people needing to (re)train their ORA mandarins...

I was thinking of placing an order for one or two ORA Mandarin gobies from either Live Aquaria, or a LFS. Does anyone have one, and have any experience with their ORA mandarin taking pellets?

You'll be fine.

My rock work in the tank is very low key. I only have about five pounds of rock in this tank, so there are not overhanging arches or anything. I do share your observations about many shrimps liking to lounge around upside down though.
