zma21, don't forget that fish poop and uneaten food can be suspended in the water column and feed your corals.

I've got three in my 12 gallon: One true perc, one tailspot blenny, and one neon goby. I keep feeding light and have no issues with nutrients.

You'll soon have two percs once two of them pair up. Remove one now imo.

How long has your tank been running with that amount of bioload?

Think I'm almost over stocked, if I haven't already. Just added a yellow watchman goby a few days ago.

2 Ocellaris
1 Flame Angel
1 Red Firefish
1 Blue Damselfish
1 Yellow Watchman Goby

Eeps!

The blenny was in a 55 but he was getting picked on so I put him in the nano so that he could get bigger/healthier. He is so happy in there that it is now his new home. I think that the key is that he stays on the bottom while the fire fish is in the middle. I was worried about him getting enough food, but after about 3 months and him getting fatter I think that he is going to be fine.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's already eaten all the pods and starts to starve now. A dragonet in a nano-tank is a really bad idea, unless the tank is attached to a huge fuge, but 8 gallon is way way too small.

that's funny because i just downsized from a 60 cube... it's shocking how much more room i have now that i did (tank is in living room).


do a search on cube tanks like that as there is one out there plumbed from teh center and viewable on 4 sides... very sweet tank.

None in my nano. I just feed my shrimp, and toss some food in every once in a while.
