leighla Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hello all! I am not new to the hobby, but I have primarily focused on freshwater planted nano tanks. Currently I have fresh, brackish, and reef tanks. My latest set-up is a 37 gallon reef, mostly softies, macros and BTA/rock flower anemones. Struggles I've had include: carpet surfing (small clown chased out during water change, didn't notice); bought a green goby who was pinched and didn't ever recover; finding appropriate flow and light (I use two powerheads and two AI prime lights). I love the reef, and have to control myself from converting more tanks! I have a big thing for Blennies and Gobies, and am very partial to my two-spot goby. I am excited to make connections, get advice and share my experience! Best! 3 Quote Link to comment

All that height has allowed me to build a scape with lots of hidey holes. I also have a thing for blennies and gobies in a pretty big way so the hidey holes give my fish territories of their own. I currently have 6 blennies, 2 gobies and 2 dartfish (which are goby-ish). 2 of my favorites are my barnacle blennies. They are cuter than cute! It will be fun following your tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
leighla Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 In addition to some lovely rock work caves, etc.., I added large barnacle clusters. If I could bill each spot with a Blenny I would! I have a barnacle blenny (Jorge, my first blenny love) who rules one cluster, a midas blenny who is queen one, and a third cluster waiting....maybe a tail spot.... 1 Quote Link to comment
