@sfin52 you just haaad to show the pink toadstool! I think I'd like a clown goby too. Wonder how it would get along with my guys?

That's my devils hand. (Insert evil laugh.)
It should get along fine. Every once and a while it will get defend it's little space. They like acros but leathers are suitable replacement.

I think my tank is plumbed for a durso? I could be wrong.

If you've got an iPad or iPhone you could always face time individuals.

I don't have anything to drill out a hole large enough for the Krakheads. I might have to just glue some rock together.

Good idea. I do.

 

[Katrina71]

I can't afford to have it plumbed. Plus, I want to learn hands-on.

Where are the krackheads sleeping. And anytime I hear krackheads I think of a couple of krack houses service .

 

[Katrina71]

They sleep in the cave with the hi-fin. I'd like to give everyone a place. Options.

Well. I’ll tell you what I’m doing to help with my tank. Maybe it’ll help you too. I’m changing my Fuge area to the first part of the sump. Skimmer in second section and return pump/carbon reactor in third.

I initially wanted to do this but got scared the skimmer wouldn’t get adequate water levels. Turns out it does and I’ve been testing water levels since I got the skimmer

Can you take a pic of your current rock work.

One observation about sump layout that I have read and heard: Skimmer should go before fuge because skimmer can remove pods that are moving from fuge to tank.

But I have also read that skimmer before fuge can remove some of the stuff you want your fuge to get..... It's a paradox ;)

What is a roller mat?

 

[sfin52]

Sometimes if you take a flat piece of rock you can make a decent cave . Lean it up against another rock. Done that more than a few times .

That’s the dilemma. At that point its whichever way works best for the tank ecosystem.

I’m afraid to switch it up but I’m willing to try it.

 

[Katrina71]

I think less is more, but agree every tank is different

They siwm and sit in the coral.

Won’t they spawn and kill acro if you have a pair
