JBJ 28G Stocking list help

Thanks Gobytron, Very helpful!! I was planning on adding a fuge, just debating if I was going to do it in the center filtration column in the back or a HOB model.

Thanks for clearing up the Mandarin question as well. It would be nice to see the clowns host, I love the idea of watching symbiotic relationships. I was originally planning on a BTA but may go the route you have mentioned. I was/am worried about the size that some of the softies can get to. Really want to make sure that everything is happy with life in the tank. Everything in this cube will be moved to a 180G within a year or so when I am able to set it up. Hopefully size wont be an issue till then.

I dont know that the stock biocube lights would be enough for a BTA...
the only reason I was suggesting softies/lps.

Ahh I see. Even with the 150W HQI?

Hey Doug, Thanks for the info. Correct me if I am wrong but is it the blennies that have the relationship with a few of the shrimp... or is that the gobies? I am thinking its the gobies.

Certain gobies will pair up with shrimp. I have even seen them sold as pairs around town at LFS. You can also get a JBJ 28g LED set up that won't heat up the tank like a MH.
