devilsadvocate Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 So you guys don't like that one I posted? Just kidding! If I end up having extra rock I may do a contest... its not that its terrible, its just not going to be good for coral placement or fish hiding spots. Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 its not that its terrible, its just not going to be good for coral placement or fish hiding spots. I'll chip it then. Hoping to make one look like this. Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'll chip it then. Hoping to make one look like this. I'm trying to make mine look like that, but no bueno. Link to comment
Roshan8768 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 That kind of structure is kind of like what i have on the left hand side of my 40 breeder... I don't like the whole arch going backe back glass look though, so I stuck to 2 islands http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/Roshan8768/media/temporary_zps6d86a4a7.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Chris! Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I know but I like minimalist natural looking landscapes. Minimalist isn't natural, if you want nature grab another 50 lbs and toss it all in.... literally toss it in to because it isn't stacked pretty or organized or any of that shit..... its natural, unplanned whereever the rocks may fall Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Fine, fine, not natural, minimalistic. I want swimming room for fish but I don't want the tank to look super cluttered. I might just order more rock. Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 What do you guys think about having some little gobies, besides the neons, in the tank? Like some Red Heads, Trimmas, Green Banded, and others. I tiny ones like Neons and Trimmas because they are active in the way that they "jump" around the tank. And I didn't include it in the list, but a Firefish will be my first fish. Easy to care for and cheap. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I tried it and they got their ass kicked even by non-aggressive fish (by other bottom dwelling gobies, jawfish, ect). They also don't look good in big tanks (hard to find them, go unnoticed) and may be a pita to feed. They thrive in smaller tanks where its easy to find food and no big fish to nip at them. Just my experience anyways. I ended up removing mine. Link to comment

Okay. 1.0 suggested putting some in the fuge. I thought of 2 problems. 1. They might eat pods. 2. Shouldn't the light cycle be opposite of the DT light cycle because of something with the Macros?

Tamberav Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Light cycle opposite will keep your pH stable. My 1 green banded ate so many fkn pods.. he was like a sixline wrasse lol The light cycle won't hurt the fish but you won't really get to enjoy them since the light is off most of the day and the fuge is on the floor/tucked away in a cabinet.

That's why I wasn't sure about putting them in. I didn't want them not being enjoyed. If only I could get an ADA 60F... Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My diadema dottyback wiped out the pods I had in my fuge. I used to see tons and tons of them, now I never see any. I'd love to see a goby tank. Nothing but gobies. There was someone who had done this in a biocube at one point, there was a video here but I don't remember who it was. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Oh yeah, my green banded wiped out my pods too. He no longer lives in the fuge because of it. Link to comment
Eclipse Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 WHAT TANK?! Thank you. Link to comment

No...it was a 29, but that tanks awesome as well. His parents said 1 tank only. IF I get one from secret Santa I may be able to keep it....EVIL! MUHAHA! SO MANY GOBIES! My randall's would have murdered them all. He is mean to other gobies. That stinks. I love Randall's. I may get a Wheeler's then. Yeah, that's the problem sometimes. I love gobies.

A 40B is big enough he can find his own space. Wheeler's are cool too though. Link to comment

Maybe if I get a small tank from my Secret Santa my mom will let me keep it... My favs are Wheeler's, Randall's, Hi-fin Banded, and Orangespotted. Link to comment
