Tank update at five weeks: New fish: Yasha Goby and Springer Damsel from High Tide New CUC: a gigantic Trochus Snail as big as my fist (also High Tide) Waiting for the Yasha Goby to find the Pistol Shrimp. He disappeared since I added him yesterday. Getting some Cyano--trying to remove it as...

I added a Black Cap Basslet five months ago (quarantined from High Tide). He immediately went into hiding, and I've rarely seen him except for an occasional glimpse of him peeking out or his tail moving. Last week, I found him out in the open in the corner of my tank, lying in the sand. I...

Alameda here. I just set up a new Aquaforest Oceanguard 605 and spent hours writing up a tank journal post, but I get a spam warning every time I try to post it. I went back through it and removed all brand names and still get a spam error. I don't get what part of it is tripping the spam...
