Thanks everyone for your input and compliments! The tank has been cycling since December 26th and didnt have any signs of ammonia or nitrite beyond the first day I put the live rock into the tank. I left the tank sitting for a couple weeks to be sure and then added in some snails and my first peppermint shrimp. A week later I added in the extra LR to the sump and there was no indications of a mini cycle either. I have been testing the water every few days to see if there are any problems.
@Fishytime I like the idea of having a goby pistol pairing as I am pretty sure I have a pistol shrimp that came in on my LR. I have heard the clicking coming from the tank once in a while. Those Yasha gobies are really neat looking and I wouldnt mind a red spotted goby either.
@bignose Yeah the fireshrimp does look pretty big in the tank but I got him for the big pop of color couldnt resist
@pscott99 yeah I wasnt liking the way the rock was resting up against the glass on the sides and rearranged it. Some of the rock is still a bit too close to the sides but should be ok. What do you think of the change as shown in my newest FTS?
@Cranky when wet - Do I need to remove the powerhead for cleaning once in a while? Never utilized one before so I figured I would ask. Temperature seems to be pretty stable through out the day even with the little glass lid covering the opening.
Neat stocking... no fish at all? I did see the catalina goby as a contender for the tank but I guess it wouldnt work out if its cold water.
@phi delt reefer wow that flaming prawn goby is definitely a contender for the next fish in the tank.
I am definitely looking into getting a goby with everyones suggestions as the goby and shrimp pairing is really intriguing me now. Anyone see any problems with me adding 2 more goby fish into the tank with my firefish? My water volume is sitting at just over 10G.
