Jerome and Carole-
The new job is coming along great. There are a lot of things that you have to deal with that I wouldn't have thought of, but not really anything that I can't handle.....yet. It is getting colder outside and more and more people are already coming into the shop.......it is wierd to have a business that really starts booming in the middle of winter. It's just like the message board here......more and more people are showing up everyday now and the boards are getting to be more active. Makes it a little more fun and hopefully folks will stay out of sour moods. Thanks for asking.
Well.......I am off to work. (Sipping Red Bull with eyes barely open yet.)

Rye,
I love that twin spotted goby. Can you tell me more about the fish. Care level behavior etc. Would be much appreciated.
Thanks Bob

The twin spot goby AKA 4 wheel drive goby is best kept in pairs- they are sand sifters so a live sand bad is beneficial- it took me over a month to get mine to eat formula one- but it eventually did- they are not a beginner fish

I have a large Goniopora or Alvepora not sure, but it looks just like you pic. One of the branches or heads recently closed up and for 2 days has not come out. It looks like a golfball surface. Could you give me some tips for it. Mine is 8" from top, good water flow, 440w VHO, low calcium "working on that", and feeding it phytoplankton. The only thing I have noticed is that my clown has taken to it and the coral is not happy with that.. Any ideas? I am worried mine is on a downward spiral. Although a new branch started forming near the base 3 days ago... Its strange that only one branch is having problems.

Awsome stuff, as always, Ryan!
Although I will admit that I'm turning green with envy over your tank and photography skills...
