How on earth did I miss this thread?!?!

You sound alot like me. When I used to live at home my parents would come downstairs to my "domain" and be all like..."What the ****!!! When did THAT get here?" (Pointing to new, 4x2x2 Ackie tank)
Me: "Oh that, I've had that for a while...dad/mom said I could (depending on who noticed it first)
Them: It has to go
Me: Well it's alot of work to get it out of here...and look how cute this guy is!!!

It still works on the old man...

hehe, thats me Randi.

probably the funniest thing i find is i went from about 1 1/2 years ago telling my mom i ant a goldfish bowl in my room,
now its not 1 but 2 reef aquariums.

im still pretty set on i wont be able to do the LEDs on a 13 year olds budget, but i'll let you guys know if i find something.

Oh, and also some fish stocking ideas ive been thinking bout are:

-1 P.fridmani
or
-3-5 either trimma or eviota gobies
or
some sort of goby

i kinda want to do some kind of kool active fish for this tank,
and maybe something that not alot of people have.
thats kinda why im looking at the lil school of pygmy gobies.

if anyone has any suggestions about a really cool fish, speak up!

+1 for the Trimma gobies. Watching them interact with one another would be neat

Either of those fish represent excellent choices... my vote is for the gobies though, because 3 fish is better than 1... EDIT... at least for a 10 gallon

That said, I'm undecided what to do with my pico... I originally had planned on 2 - 3 Sharknose Gobies, but now I'm considering having only one larger fish. 2 or 3 - 1.5 inch Sharknose Gobies or 1 - 3 inch Cherub Angel, Talbots Demoiselle, or South Seas Devil Damsel (these fish are all aggressive and would do well in a small species tank, as long as they stay under 3" I'll be okay)... Ah, decisions decisions.

And let me know if you need more info about the LEDs, I'll gladly divulge my secrets

secrets, eh?

got any secrets that leads to not spending more money for lighting on my 10 gallon than my 29 gallon if i do LED?

thats a hard choice between fish.
Its always cool to watch gobies interact with specimens of their own species,
but cherub angels are soo kool. im getting one for my 29 gallon

Whats not to love?
1. Captive bred
2. Playful, coy.
3. Gorgeous!

I have two fish and when one is a silly Nemo that is nothing more than an eating robot I guess I do kinda trumpet the other. My wife picked her out and we call her Inara(google it) and she really is a treat to watch as she excavates her home under the live rock.
