Bill Nye Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I guess it would be asking too much for this clown goby to do something other than hide back near the filter intake. Like come out and perch on the rock or something... My clown goby used to hide all the time but once they realize nothing is going to chomp them they will come out and perch. As far as the heater goes, I keep mine set to 80 degrees and it keeps my water at about 78. Link to comment

Bill Nye Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What wattage is your Stealth? Mine is 25w. I have the 50 watt one. Im not sure what your weather is like locally but around here it gets pretty cold in the winter and I keep my heat low to save money . I dont know how much of a difference 2 and a half gallons of water makes but I found a 25 watt couldnt keep up. Link to comment

Oh man, I just looked over at the tank and the YCG is out swimming around! What a relief. I hope that's a sign that it's doing ok. Link to comment
pj86 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Really nice picotope you have there. I really like the color and age that the live rock gives to the tank. Link to comment

It took my buy a few days before he was comfortable to be out with the other fish. He eventually took a Montipora Plate as his new home and would just sit there and watch the other fish, darting out for food every now and then. A little before I list him he would go hang with my two clown, about as close as he could get to them while still hanging onto the gladd. It was pretty funny to watch. Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I haven't seen the goby once today... I hope it's still alive. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 This NanoMag glass cleaner is amazing. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I went lightly poking around the rock with a plastic stick to see if the goby was hiding somewhere. Ended up lifting both rocks out and found him in a little cave on the back of the bigger rock. He's still alive! Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Nice! It's funny how they can still hide so well while being bright yellow in a tank that small. Link to comment
Coastie Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Dragged my buddy to a local aquarium shop here in Pittsburgh.... this place looked SKETCHY!!!! Walked inside and it was wall to wall aquariums. Unfortunately for me they had all of 6 salt tanks. They did have a pico though that housed a pistol. They said he had terrorized their aquascaping.... (You'd figure that someone who works in a fish store would know what pistols do). It looks pretty cool! I may still save some dough and set up a little 5-10 gallon plain boring square.

Yeah I was fearing the worst as I hadn't seen it since last night. It didn't come out when I fed the tank earlier. Hopefully it will start eating here in a day or two. Link to comment

Have you seen the Mr.Aqua tanks that MarineDepot.com sells? I had a 7.5g 12" cube that I got from them that was really nice for the money. I gave it to my brother and he is now setting up a pico tank with LEDs. His thread is around here somewhere. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 A few pics. I used the AquaStik putty that I just got and placed the monticap over on the left side. Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Nice looking tank. I need to go get some aquamend putty or something. I have some coral that needs to be placed. Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Like the monti placement. Gonna have plenty of room to grow (relative to the size of the tank ). Im trying to find a spot to put a monti cap in but I think it will shade too much due to the way my rock work is Link to comment

Im trying to find a spot to put a monti cap in but I think it will shade too much due to the way my rock work is I almost put it on the left side of the front piece of rock. It would get the most light there. But I think I'm going to put other SPS there eventually. Monticaps are one of my favorite corals. But I think this is the only piece I'll put in this tank. There just isn't much room considering how they grow. EDIT: Bill, do you have a tank thread? Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Nah I dont have a tank thread atm. I am gonna make one once my tank looks respectable. Right now I have a bunch of zoa plugs lying around on my sand bed that I need to frag off some onto my LR and my acros havent fully encrusted their plugs yet so it looks kinda ghetto. After my mp10 comes in im gonna grab a crap ton of sps and then probably start a thread. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just realized that I need to buy another RO/DI as I sold my Mighty Mite. Kinda wish I hadn't now. But at the time I was planning on getting out of the hobby for good. So I think I'll go with another Mighty Mite as it worked perfectly for me and only cost about $100. Unless you guys have any other recommendations... Link to comment

Unless you guys have any other recommendations... Ive been in the market for an RO/DI as well. I have been using distilled water but am getting sick of running back and forth. I have heard some good things about mighty mites...might have to check them out. Link to comment
