GregEmmitte Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 So I'm experiencing a form of "writers block". the majority of my attention goes to my biocube32. Ive had this fluval 5 gallon for 6 months and honestly idk what I want to do with it. It's early so the gorgonians haven't fully opened and half of the GSP has opened. ive got a BTA and a porcelain ? that I recently put in until my LFS has something I want so I can trade. Really it just sits there and grows pods. im open to suggestions. Feel free. 4 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Looks good! What about a couple neon gobies? Or a goby/pistol pair? Is that the stock light? If so, watch the BTA for signs of losing color and such. They need quite a bit of light to thrive. 1 Quote Link to comment
GregEmmitte Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yea it's only been a few weeks so I check on him daily. Love him but I've got a rainbow BTA in the main tank so it's a bit much. Same with the urchin. I love he urchin but he's got no place in the main tank. 3 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I just sumped my pencil urchin - he hasn't eaten a piece of coral for 2+ years and last week, polished off two frags of zoas in short order 1 Quote Link to comment
GregEmmitte Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Oh wow zoas? I didn't even know they ate zoas. I may change up the aquascape and fill it full of zoas shrooms and xenia/Kenya tree etc. idk. I spend my creativity supply on drawing painting and the biocube so I think I'm tapped out haha 1 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I do like hope open the sand bed is. Maybe keep the gorgs on one side and do zoas and shrooms on the other with a goby/pistol pair! 1 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Maybe add a few macros? 1 Quote Link to comment

GregEmmitte Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Decisions were made, ideas were had. went to the LFS for some RO/DI and picked up a Kenya and Xenia. Introduced some red macro and a blasto and a few shrooms from my other tank. 3 Quote Link to comment

Most of these are left over from my old biocube. There's an RBTA in the back that neemo sleeps in and then this little rainbow bta he's playing with right now. Also a red shroom behind neemo. 2 Quote Link to comment

I would have never guessed that was just 5 gallons . It looks so much bigger. And the fact that it's only 5 gallons makes it even more awesome....nice work!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Have you had to do any of the brine shrimp hatching everyone says you have to do with dwarves? That's what always put me off from getting them, the fact that they need daily hatchings to feed from. 2 Quote Link to comment
