Evo 5 Reef

SilverRanger · Jun 5, 2021

I have decided to take on the challenge of a nano reef tank. I plan to keep some zoas, mushroooms, a leather and perhaps some Xenia or other softies. I have had my tank cycling and will continue to monitor the process.

I vote yasha goby and pistol shrimp! Never owned a pair but they seem to be hits with other nano owners.
I’ve been considering a pair myself.

UPDATE:

Alright guys I took a pole and was at the LFS to buy a pistol shrimp/yasha goby pair... until I saw the yellow striped pipefish. I know, I know I signed up for always buying live pods and hounding my parameters but I can’t resist the intrigue and challenge of this delicate little dragon-like fish. Owning a pipefish has been a fantasy of mine so I of course have plenty of knowledge on these critters. Anyways the attached photos are of Clyde and he is quite the hunter of frozen cyclops and live Tisbee pods.

UPDATE
Picked up a Scarlet Reef Hermit and some Zoas for the tank
