00W's AIO Smorgasbord

only one that would be a no is the Royal Gramma. too common. But so are the blue damsels. I'd do the CBB if I knew it was eating and a variety. I'm not sure about the blenny, The jawfish threw around so much sand. Blotchy Anthias?

It’s none of my business but what are your thoughts on not getting a tailspot Blennys?

Gorgeous creatures!

Thanks Wes. Im enjoying them and the family likes them too

Uffff beautiful but expensive lol

I'd get a warty skin angler but the mandarin would be engulfed for sure and 2 floaties would result.

I just don't want something that is going to throw sand around with all the digging. so that groups blennies and jawfish together.

Tailspot Blennys don’t touch the sand, they pick at algae on the rocks and glass all day. Mine stays in the top half of the tank, I think you might be confusing blennys with gobies. My diamond watchman goby sifts and moves sand all day. Blennys are awesome.

I'm pretty sure my are springers. but I had such a pain trying to catch them in the transfer. I basically removed all the rock and drained the tank to catch them. Whenever my hand or forceps are in the tank they constant head butt it. If I could catch these, I'd even pay the shipping to send them to you.

Damsel or Dottybacks?

Springeri are very deep blue with black "swirls"

Everything in that tank is yellow.

I keep thinking about a pink lemonade Goni or maybe a sunburst.

The last round of gonis I got are doing great this time. I had lost my first two attempts at keeping them. I guess it's because I have more experience now, and my tank is pretty steady right now. Alveopora are supposed to be more tolerant and a bit more hardy. Give em a shot!

this pump is a bit more pricey but they are nice and slim and allow for shallow pumping. But even a simple ATO pump. takes longer but us old peeps need to modify things as we age.

Thank you.

 

[kingranch2003]

Good choices. All three of those look very healthy and decent size.

Thanks Tom. I was surprised by the size of the frags, the alveopora especially. Just gotta figure out exactly where im putting it

 

[kingranch2003]

I think I have one at 60% and another at 50%. My gyres aren't that powerful, and there were places in the sand and corners that had zero flow.

I have the nero 3 on one side, and a hygger (non gyre) on the opposite side glass. They're facing each other. The hygger is on random and I'm trying to choose between random and pulse on the nero 3.
