Are these your plans, or are you buying a tank from someone else? Looks good!

Kayla, my other 2 fish are a rainford's goby and red scooter blenny. They are totally fine. No bullying was going on.

Maybe some sort of hidden invert. in the tank?


I just set up my 15 gallon standard today. All my clean up crew and angler are in my 12. The 15 is VERY cloudy. It will probably be fully visible in a few days but will start to clear up by tomorrow. I am getting a few extra peices of live rock to split for my 15 and 12. I will keep you all up to date on both tanks. The 16 was just a nasty looking tank. Looked to tall for my room so now it is in my garage.

I cannot think of anything to get, that's why! I love the Orchid Dottybacks, and my LFS has a pair that has spawned 6x before in a 10g nano reef that I really want. Really, really badly. But they eat the bristleworms, so I can't get them... I really want this reef to thrive unchallanged by potentially dangerous creatures such as fish. If you guys can suggest any fish that would be completely reef safe, unusual, and en6tertaining, then I would love to get some. I just cannot find anything that would be ok...

In other words, please give me suggestions!

No. The rainford and scooter are the less clever of all the fish. Plus I've had this live rock and the fish for over 6 months with no issues.

Great ideas! But which to choose? I really like the gold-lined neon goby and also the blue one. Think I could keep one blue and 1 gold one in the tank?

Well they may fight out of territorial aggression, but other than that I don't see why not. Amanda (AEALOVESHERGIRLS) has like 6 of them in her tank, and they all get along well.

SPS+Hagen Fluval = crash. (high NO3, PO4, Hair Algae, cyanobacteria)
don't use it dude, just chuck it on a FW tank, or use it for carbon.

If you don't believe me start a thread on the SPS or ZEOvit Forums.

SCUBA was sweet, i found a tiny (dwarf yellow pregnant male) Seahorse, about 20pipefish, octopus, and heaps more (no LF seadragon)... i have now passed the course and can dive in Open Water up to 60ft. i'm going SCUBA shopping tomorrow, and spending a LARGE sum of cash

We took some pics but i havn't got any with me right now ...

Josh

Thanks for the heads up on the filter, Josh!

I'm so jealous! It must be awesome to have so much exotic life in your oceans...I sure don't...

Ok what do you guys think about this?

http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...dproduct=LTRSS

I would put it above the center of the tank and then gut my coralife or sell it for a 2 indivdual 96pcs with their own reflectors.
so it would be like this

PC -actinic
MH
PC-actinic- or maybe 50/50

maybe this with 400w 10000k http://www.ereeftank.com/cart/catalo...nt_p_1143.html

Well Kayla, The bulb has a span of just about 36inchs (so i have read) and i will still have actinics.

Cool, except I know your tank is 36" long, and the dimensions on this fixture is 19.5" x 10.5" x 6" --that's significantly shorter.

Getting warmer! But the actinics are only 30 watts total, which isn't very much.

I have to reccommend www.Reeftanklighting.com. Doug, the owner, is awesome! He is a member of my local reef club.
