They get up to about 2 inches so I think that it is close to full size

Today I decided to add a small rock to serve as my GSP island. Here is the current layout/ plan for the tank The current plan has a GSP Island in the center. A Zoa rock on the left currently with 1 small colony of orange zoas but I plan to add other colors, a region for mushrooms on the lower left (currently have a greenish florida ricordia). There is a duncan in the center over a cave and a toadstool leather at the top. My current thoughts are to adds maybe another couple of soft corals and some LPS. Ihave a bit of a vertical wall on the right. I was thinking of maybe blastos for there but an mot sure. I would also like to add maybe some hammer or frogspawn and some acans and/or candy canes. a Photosynthetic gorgonian could also be interesting. I am open to suggestions. Also the powerhead is currently at the top right near the front but if there are any suggestions that would be good. The tiger pistol made an appearance today.

I added started a tank build thread. Thanks for the advice lynn.reef.nerd. Any tips or recommendations would be great. Thanks

I had not seen my neon goby for a few days . Today I checked the filter chamber. There he was. I cleaned out the chamber and returned the goby to the main tank. I also ordered an InTank fish saver. hopefully that will help but the goby is small so I may need to do something else too.

I have some chaeto in the refugium with the light on at night I have move the duncan to above the center cave where the Shrimp hangs out. I was suppose to get 2 fish this week and a pistol shrimp. They were ordered for my by a LFS. I got the blue neon goby and a tiger pistol shrimp. But the yellow watchman goby did not seem to make it through shipping very well. I went to pick him up and I am not sure if he was going to survive. the store said they would try to get me another one. I also picked up a small frag of GSP. I am trying to decide what to do with it. I either plan to mount it on the back wall or put in a small rock to make an Island. I like it look but I do not want it taking over.

After years of keeping a 50 gal FOWLR tank, I recently decided to make my first attempt at reef keeping. First I tried to convince my wife to go with a bigger tank but eventually compromised on getting 2 32 gal biocubes. Part of the reason for the Biocubes is that we have a cat. Without a solid top , she would probably either in the tank or trying to catch the fish. The tanks are for my living room and will go on each end of the couch. The 50 gal tank is currently at one end of the room with 2 residents that will be making there way into the Biocubes: a royal gramma and a maroon clown. I have had them both for about 5 years. About a month and a half ago, I got the first biocube and set it up. Set up LED Biocube InTank media basket InTank Refugium Basket Fluval 150 W heater hydor Koralia pump gph Innovative Marine ChaetoMax Refugium LED Light I set the tank up using Bimini Pink live sand and live rock from my 50 gallon tank. Here is the initial layout After cycling I got a cleaner shrimp, the beginning of my cuc with snails and blue leg hermits and a few coral ricordia florida small colony of orange zoa toadstool leather duncan I have been having some algae issues, some of which may have come from my live rock and some may be from the corals.

Menglish Thanks for the offer. That would be great. I will let follow up with you in a few weeks to make sure my tank is stable.

So far I have a small group of Zoas, a toadstool leather, a duncan and a ricordia florida an a cleaner shrimp with a few blue leg hermits, 2 trochus snails , 2 small nassarius snails, and 2 astrea snails. I just got a blue neon goby (wife's favorite) and a tiger pistol shrimp. I was suppose to pick up a yellow watchman goby but it looked about dead when the sore got it in. I have a Royal Gramma and a Clown I Plan to move over in the next few weeks. The I Will start on the second tank. I plan on doing Softies, Zoas and LPS with small frags and growing them out.

Hello. I am new to WAMAS and to reefing. I have had a FOWLR 50 gallon tank for about 20 years. I have decided to retire that tank and am in the process of replacing that with my first reef tanks. I am starting up 2 separate 32 gallon Biocubes. The first one is up and running and I will start on the second when the my first is ready to accept a couple of fish from my old tank. I am doing Biocubes because I need something enclosed (we have a cat) and they are about the biggest my wife would go for.
