Why are you not trying to get a reliable feeding response from him before you try to wean him? Wouldn't it be easier for you to wean him after you are sure you can keep it healthy?

We use Pet Dominion in Rockville and they have proscribed interceptor to us before for use in our tank.

Saw this on NR from InTank

I am scheduled for 8 hours, so does anyone have any ideas about lunch? Will we have a brief break time? Should I bring something or is there something in the hotel that isn't too high priced?
There is a noodles within walking distance (right across the street from the metro) and they are vegetarian friendly.

dont forget to add Dshnarw and I to your list.

I moved my tank a lot. What I recommend is one bucket for fish/inverts, one (or more as needed) for corals. I would save some of the current water to use when you get the tank to the new house, I always kept around 50%. Starting with all new fresh water sounds good but can cause issues with recycling. Leave just enough water in the tank to cover the sand but more than you think because you'll want to suck out the detritus that is stirred up after the move.
After everything is in the buckets snap the lids on throw them in the car with the tank drive them over. When you get to the new house place the tank, add some water, unpack corals, then the fish/inverts. Top off the tank.
Your move shouldn't be long enough that you need to worry about having heaters/air pumps in the buckets. I moved one of my tanks from KY to MD in a cooler with no air pump or heater.

How cold are you planning on running your tank? Catalina's need around mid 60s if I remember correctly. We ran ours at 50...

We had a 40g coldwater tank till the chiller went up in smoke.
We already have a plan for a new one when we get the funds. A 60g 2ft cube isn't cheap made out of 1" acryllic.
The acrylic will help maintain the temperature but it will also reduce the sweat factor on the outside of the tank.
Another nice thing now is that there are cold water suppliers.
Here is a link to the build thread for our old tank http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/176894-dshnarw-coldwater/

They are just smaller on the one you have. If you look at the picture you posted you can seem them along the outer rim on the bottom on the left.

Sustainable Aquatics is based there.

Guy, it is also happening to customers in other parts of the country. See here for how this guy handled it http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=297868

He'll fit in the tank, but keep in mind he may not pair with your goby. They don't always pair, but I enjoy them on their own even without the goby.

We had ours until we lost power last summer and the tank cooked.
A lot of our livestock came from Divers Den and a friend we had that lived in Oregon and would collect and send us stuff.
Gulf of Maine sells cold water items. If I remember correctly the items found locally are used to warmer temperatures and are not suitable for a cold water aquarium.
We kept the tank at 55 degrees.
Also, I wouldn't recommend using the biocube because the glass is too thin and will cause a sweating problem in the summer. 1/2" to 1" acrylic is recommended to cut down on sweating.

Reef Cleaners normally has a large selection of macros.

Rainfords goby

Seems I'm overdue for an update

How thick is the acryllic?

Plates chowing down on pellets
Also, to add a couple of things to what my husband said some plates never extend tentacles so feed them every couple of days anyway. I had a purple and green mottled one that never ever extended tentacles but it could still work the food to its mouth. If you look close in the photo I posted you can see it off to the right.

Thanks!
And now new photos

Thanks guys.
Zygote wouldn't a Rabbit Fish be too big for my tank? If your talking about the algea, I'm working on it. Not too long ago the thing was half full of caulerpa. I've pulled most of it out, added other macros, and a new cuc. The next project will be scraping the back wall.

Tanks been up for over a year. Inhabitants are all mostly less than 6 months old thanks to a pest that decimated my corals. It is stocked with mostly softies as I like to keep things simple.

Oh I didn't take those photos he did. Dshnarw is my husband if you couldn't tell from the screen names.

Nice pictures. Thank you for sharing!
I know what you mean about the "new breed of aquarium" outshining some of the older ones... but there are still some great examples out there of this type. The Waikiki Aquarium was awesome for me even though it doesn't have the awesome presence or massive aquariums that some of the newer ones have, to me there is also beauty in long-term maturity and respect in historical significance.
Here is a link to pictures from when we visited the Waikiki Aquarium on our honeymoon if you want to check them out.

Its a macro algae of some kind. Hopefully someone will chime in with species.
