lemon lime acro
pink birdsnest.

All of the SPS, with the exception of the birdsnest are fairly slow growers, so there shouldn't be too much or a problem with things growing too quickly

Mmmmm, NICE! I have the Austrea on my want list but must hold off until I get this cube of mine going.

I must admit, Greg is my SPS guru. I pretty much went "this is the setup, these are the lights...make my tank pretty"

and judging by the pictures I've been looking at, this tank is gonna be a knockout.

Is the rock "dead"? Will you not have to wait a million years for it to become live again and suitable for supporting delicate fish which I thought these gobies were? Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

[Rbacchiega]

actually...once I found the scape I liked...I sorta cemented it together and it's sitting in the sump of my 90 gallon...hopefully this will equal a quick and easy cycle.

OMG I just got the House of Love thing, with the male and female gobies. Nice...

Man, am I dense

[Rbacchiega]

picking up the little darlings tomorrow!

Nice can't wait for pics! I love yashias, my second favourite goby.

[Rbacchiega]

second?!?! first being?????

Greissinger's (aka Flame Prawn) Goby... but it's a close race. The Yashia would win because it's cheaper, but I like the orange and red.

*looked up flame prawn goby*

Holy mother eff....must find me a pair of those! (for a different tank obviously)

Well, I'm happy to report that Johnny and June ( ) have settled in nicely to their temporary home in the Quarantine tank. And both of them already ate some PE mysis (about 1-2 mysis each LOL) I can see this is going to be fun keeping the nutrients etc down in the display tank when the time comes LOL

I was worried about how to prevent the gobies from jumping, should the situation arise...because they'd be able to get through the egg crate with no problem. Solution? I used the old screen lids from some 10 gallon reptile tanks...I dont' imagine it'll effect the lighting too much (very fine mesh and lots of holes) but it'll keep the little darlings in the tank.

SOOOOOOOOOOO STOKED
