Jigsaw Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Loving that setup! Glad the move evidently went okay too, those can be a pain sometimes. Did you glue all that rock together (the branching "tower")? I'm assuming so, otherwise you're a master aquascaper LOL Link to comment

automatik_33 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I had always wanted a dragon goby but could never find one small enough at my lfs. Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Pellet trained manderine for sure I've actually put a lot of thought towards a mandrin, they are awesome fish, but between lab, school, and polo I don't have time to baby a fish like that, they also need well established tanks, and well mine isnt YWG and pistol!!! thats a good idea I had always wanted a dragon goby but could never find one small enough at my lfs. They'd get to big for me, and they hide a lot from what Ive read, I want social fish! YAY! I know I just picked up some SICK acans from Kraylen today and he tossed in some awesome sps AND!!!! he gave me a 5.5 tank for free, he is the man, between him and latte alone my tank is gonna be awesome, i can just feel it Pics of those after I finish my data reduction from my qPCR also, I've changed my mind about plumbing the 5.5 into the 29 system because: 1 )Its a lot of work 2) I already have it set for the water flow of the 29, and I really don't want to mess with it 3) If something were to happen to the 29 and I lose coral, id like to have a back up system 4) it'd make it a lot harder to move so ... Im gonna make it an aio! Link to comment
