tank looks good

Thanks man,
Oh where do i start with the goby lol. I bought him about a month ago, liked him for about two minutes before i started screaming "wha.. what the **** are you doing?" as he buried my trumpet coral in sand. I also had the same problem with so much sand being stirred up it seemed to hang in the water forever and eventually wind up in my sump. All and all a very neat addition to the tank that people seem to love to watch, but definatly not as suitable for a reef tank imo. I should mention the sand does seem to be noticeably whiter and cleaner and most of the sand that gets thrown on the corals falls off or gets blown off eventually, i havent lost any corals since I bought it. The little guy definitely lives up to name "sand sifter"

Oh i also had a couple issues with rock stability after adding the goby as well, ive never seen so many tunnels under the rocks.
