Nice tanks guys! I've had a 14 gallon and an 8 gallon biocube. Just wanted to mention but you may already know, that Astraea snails have one heck of a time trying to flip themselves back over. If you see them like that, you should flip them back over. Otherwise you feed your hermits well!:D

Haha thanks...they are empty. My crab had a snack...

Your tank is looking great Andy! I added a brain coral and a star polyp today!

Love the last one!!! And yes they did! Super happy to see them open, I have I'll take a pic tonight in the moonlight. I ordered a couple of anemones (my LFS will let me pick which one I'd like), a sea cucumber, a mandarin goby, and a Duncan.

My GSP when I put it into my tank, and now only a few months later. Up until last week my lights were two years old also. Incredible grower.

Everything is looking good, but you should refrain from the mandarin goby. You wont have enough food in your tank to eat and he will end up dieing. You have to have a very eatablished tank to have one. Even those with established reefs have big struggles keeping them alive. If you have any questions in regards to live stock choices please dont hesitate to ask first. Always research new corals and fish to make sure they can get the proper care so you can get to enjoy them for longer.

Yes I know it can be invasive. I think that it will look nice in my tank. And yes haha I went to their place in Vegas where they film. It was so cool. Dream come true!

Even if I put in copepods? I put some in yesterday specifically for the goby. My LFS told me I can keep one as long as I add them every other month.
