Temp definitly doesnt help! Youre in socal too eh? I feel your pain! Go to walmart/ace hardware and buy some clip on fans. That'll help a bunch.

Im happy i got my chiller up and running today though! Temp troubles are behind me now

Gaping mouth is a common symptom of corals in stress... I would say to invest in a mini chiller or some kind of cooling fan...

[Mr. rY]

ill get one of those clip on fans. Thanks guys

[Craigj247]

This is the fab I have by coral life... I got it off eBay and it reduced my tank by 6c. Worked super for me.

[Mr. rY]

Update: my pistol shrimp died . My ywg is turning white idk if thats good or bad

[Craigj247]

Hmmm any color dullness is not a good thing in my opinion... How are the water parameters?

[Mr. rY]

H20 par r ok amm,trite 0, trate 5, ph 8.2. I did not change any of my cleaning, feeding habits its always been the same since the beginning. Corals are fine , temp is on 81

[Craigj247]

Had the temp fluctuated over the past few days... Has the goby's colour been reducing over a long period of time or over the past couple of days...?

[Mr. rY]

No everything has been the same. I just noticed ywgs color changing yesterday. But he eats fine still very active.

[Craigj247]

What feed do you use... Sometimes the colour can drop depending in the type of feed... Ocean life and Kent have some good feed which assures good body colour

[Mr. rY]

Ive been alternating the spectrum sinking pellets and brine shrimp

[Craigj247]

Hmm feed seems good too... Might be good to get some professional help as to why the colour change...

[Mr. rY]

This morning for some reason its color came back to normal so weird

[Craigj247]

Ha ha don't question it just open a bottle of champagne and celebrate :p

[Mr. rY]

Lol i thought he was depressed due to his partner died.

[Craigj247]

Ha ha... Dude if you are thinking of getting another pistol... I saw this cool guy at my LFS. It is yellow in colour with purple claws but I am not sure what you call it... But would match a yellow watchman really nicely...

[Mr. rY]

U shud get it. Hows ur tank btw any update?

[Craigj247]

Yeah machan started getting the corals in. Got a green mushroom, green and orange zoas and a branching hammer coral... Just waiting to get the whole thing done and upload some pics...

How are the clowns doing?

[Mr. rY]

Clowns r good same old. Gotten a lil bit bigger. Corals are the same. The only new stuff i noticed are the coraline algae. I get more and more cant wait till the rocks and the background are covered with it

[Craigj247]

That is great... My rocks already had it when I bought it. Now the corraline is on the back wall and is spreading to the side glass walls too... Once it starts growing it really takes off...
