*waves at yellow clown goby* Mine is named Cornelius.
Any ideas on why yours took so long to cycle? Where did you get your rock and sand. Trying to use it as a learning experience, sorry...

well the test at my LFS are still showing signs of Nitrite, so i bought my own nitrite test, and it was just fine. so i told my LFS and he said that his test kit is probably messed up. the rock and sand was from the LFS... The rock was already in the tank and 50% of the sand was from my nanocube and 50% was new...

thanks man!!
found this local private seller with sexies for only 9.95!! hes the one i bought the BSJF from... not a good expierence. also he has a yellow head jawfish i can put in the nano. hmmmm....
Jacobnano
Aug 1 2009, 02:21 PM
Get a group of sexies. I put one in my 5.5g and never saw it again lol. My hermits are always hungry, hmmm....
Also, nice rockscape dawg!
You need more corals to fill the open space (I do too)
Nanobuds
Aug 1 2009, 02:23 PM
lol first i am saving up 4 a new light... my zoas are stretching to the bad picotope light lol...
i was thinking 3 sexies... mabey 5
Jacobnano
Aug 1 2009, 02:26 PM
My brothers tank is using the stock pico light and actually looks pretty good, he has spent about 10$ on his tank lol, everything has been from me lol.
Edit: I won't post pics of my stuff in your thread
Nanobuds
Aug 1 2009, 02:28 PM
lol i dont care
Jacobnano
Aug 1 2009, 02:30 PM
I don't have any pics of his tank anyway, he needs to clean the coraline off the front anyway.

Aug 1 2009, 02:31 PM
lol. i am thinking of setting up my old 30 gallon eclipse as a FW tank... but i need more money lol
Jacobnano
Aug 1 2009, 02:39 PM
FW is super cheap. My little 3g was only like 20$ lol. The fish are cheaper too, my puffer was only 3.50$.
You should fill your room with tanks like me!!!

yes i live its crazy. my computer broke thats why i havent been on. and i still got my 20h and an empty 15g...

Aug 2 2009, 01:46 AM
don't do the jawfish in the pico lol. the sexies are great though, our LFS sells them for $8.99 one down the road from him they are $14.99 huge diff. Pom pom crab goes well with sexy shrimp too, but they are really reclusive.

lol i said the jawfish will be for the nanocube lol. i was thinking a pom-pom...
will a YCG, a Yasha, 3 sexies, and a pom pom crab be too much?
Jacobnano
Aug 2 2009, 04:44 PM
I think that -the yasha would be good. That is too big of a fish for 3g in my opinion and it will be difficult to keep your params under control with two fish in only 2 gallons (or less, I am thinking 3g-rock/sand etc.) of water.
Nanobuds
Aug 2 2009, 04:47 PM
ok thanks. mabey 2 clown gobies... if the tank starts to go bad or if they fight then i will just move one to the nano...
Jacobnano
Aug 2 2009, 04:50 PM
Ehh still seems like too many fish to me
You could just go with one clown goby....
Nanobuds
Aug 2 2009, 04:58 PM
hmm... but i usually like to push it. like D3monic. he has 2 mandarins, 2 clowns, and some type of gobies. he is planning on getting rid of the clowns and getting 2 scooter blennies and more mandarins lol
Jacobnano
Aug 2 2009, 05:04 PM
His are all trained and not in a 3g

But yea its your choice, if you can keep your params good and have the gobies not fight you should be fine.
Nanobuds
Aug 2 2009, 05:15 PM
ok. i just may try it
Jacobnano
Aug 2 2009, 05:18 PM
Cool, I wanna see pics. To little gobies would look really cool
D3monic
Aug 2 2009, 05:50 PM
My ears are burning....Im starting to think a another bangaii might be cool I am interested in mouth brooding. I need to get my but in gear and set up my pico. I got a 2.5gal aga and everything I need. I was thinking either sexies or a yasha and pistol. I have been putting serious thought into setting up a fw planted too. I saw some really cool ones on youtube and I caught the bug.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uafmRtpK7T0 I got a spotted mandarin im trying to get rid of. Hes fully trained and eating from a feeding dish. I am just too damn scared to ship it or I would send it to ya.

i decided to go with no current 2x18 watt dual compact fixture, only the Current 1x18 watt. i don want to risk my SPS with my clown goby(ies). Also i will get no more corals or pics until i get the light. i want it to be a surprise.

well my first disaster. lets say that a stomatella decided to go up the intake tube for the AC 5o, and decided to stop right by the motor, jamming the motor. so... the water stopped running. the fuge light gets pretty hot, and, well it heated up the fuge to 90 degrees farenheit. so... i dumped out all the water, not thinking to clean out the entire thing, added some more salt water, everything back to normal? not. 50% of chaeto bleached and/or browned out, and i also had dead brittle stars and stomatellias in the fuge, raising ammonia to about .5, killing off my peppermint shrimp, 3 hermit crabs, and a mushroom.

i am really wondering why i even wanted a pico, almost 3 months old and barley any livestock in it... i should have waited until i got a job
Jacobnano
Aug 20 2009, 06:29 PM
Dude its the same with me. My 5.5g has had the same corals in it for 3 months. I am gonna get a couple harlequins for it though.
No! Keep going with the pico, your already so far why stop now?
