Would a midas blenny and gobies get along? Thanks for the advice guys!

I have a Midas and a yellow watchman in my 110 gallon and they avoid each other. But my Midas can be kind of a jerk he has bit on my arm while writing in the tank. There still could be potential issues in a smaller setup. They have made their spots on opposite sides of the tank.

What about royal gramma basslets? Anybody have one?

So when I started this build I wanted the ultra clean rimless look. With that said, I knew I did not want a light fixture on legs sitting on the edges of my tank. I began researching ways to hang my fixture. The wife sure down hanging from the ceiling instantly. I considered building one out of conduit, also shut down. So I dove into the internet to find other ways. I came across a thread where someone used a shelf bracket instead. The wife finally got interested enough to try. I picked up two 16" shelf brackets from hd yesterday. I have been playing around this evening to see how I think out will work out. Here are some pictures. Input is appreciated!

The lowes in cookeville certainly does not lol. I had a really hard time finding 16" brackets. They have to be 16" because of tank depth.

Looks good man!

I have something very similar for my fixture on my QT, and was wanting to do the same for my DT. I have a friend that is an amazing welder, I just need to figure out the dimensions and have him do it. Those look like they will work perfectly.

Good idea on the light hangers. Can they also double as a shelf for you to put some decorations or supplies on?

They certainly can. I just did this as a mock up last night to acquire the wifes approval. The only thing on the shelf is I will have to drill holes for my mounting hardware to lay into the shelf. Will take pictures for everyone once I start.

So for those of with you mp10's.....are they worth it? I am considering one and I don't really think it is a justifiable expense when I already have 2 koralia nanos. What would you all do?
