da1001 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Interesting scape, plenty of room to stick in frags etc. I'm partial to clownfish myself. Maybe a goby/pistol pair? Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 if you are planning on zoas, then a cleaner shrimp? if no zoas, then a bunch of sexy shrimps would be great Link to comment

R1sky_Biz Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Interesting scape, plenty of room to stick in frags etc. I'm partial to clownfish myself. Maybe a goby/pistol pair? I agree 100%. Love that pairing and possibly an anemone for the clown(s) to host? My nuvo 8 is on the way as we speak. Looking forward to seeing your progress! Link to comment
cmb2104 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 The clown is gettin a frogspawn and a hammer! Maybe torch. After researching I decided against the nem they get pretty big and it's a small space. Link to comment
cmb2104 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 went on a pre-christmas shopping trip yesterday! had a significant amount of alge growing to i added to the cuc and also few other critters! my new snails were busy last night... the tank looks much cleaner! i purchased my first coral ever! Frogspawn! so far its looking great! and also thought the little clown goby was too cute to leave behind! we call him Woodstock! (like in charlie brown... looks just like him!) he was fine yesterday but today is hiding.... and i cant see him and didnt come out for food either Link to comment
APLATN13 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Looking good fellow nuvo 8 isn't that a yellow watchman goby? I just picked up one yesterday at the LFS as it was a gift and he/she isn't doing anything... Link to comment

I just picked up one yesterday at the LFS as it was a gift and he/she isn't doing anything... no, hes a clown goby... more round shaped.... i haven been able to get a good pic of him yet. but they dont really do much... he only swims till he finds a new spot to hang out.... they arent big swimmers, but they are colorful.

cmb2104 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 went shopping again! hammer coal and a blood shrimp.... they also threw in a free sexy shrimp! Link to comment
Roland-Berlin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Is the sexy shrimp still living, or was it live food for the blood shrimp? I have no experiences with shrimp, but I think that the size difference could become a problem for the sexy one? Anyway, I like your tank. Any new pics/stories? Link to comment
cmb2104 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Here's a new pic! The sexy shrimp now has 2 more friends all doing well! And they have grown a lot! Pam, Lana, and Sheryl... Yes Pam is the biggest! The blood shrimp never bothers them... He's in hiding mostly comes out at feeding time and then retreats to his cave. Also just upgraded the pump and added the spinsteam tho I'm still working to get the flow right.... Link to comment
