Welcome. We have LEDs & a bigger pump coming today. We love our 90, which reminds me I need to update our forum thread. Want to get a Tail Spot Blenny and a Cleaner Shrimp, not sure what other livestock. Zoas, maybe a Frog or Torch.. Haven't decided for sure yet lol

what lights did you get? i need to get a small lil fish for this. so far all thats in there is crabs and snails.

An 11" Beamswork 18w 6 led clamp-on. Nothing too special just trying to get it ready for some small frags and a fish. You should put a little Blenny in there, such great personality and they like small tanks..so I hear.

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

Thanks. It's coming together nicely. Working on a deal to trade the 57g for some zoas to someone who's 57g tank just sprung a leak. Time will tell if it happens if not I'm sure it'll go quickly. Looking forward to your updates as well.

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

is this a good spot for the chalice?

Awesome looking nano tank! I love the hi-fin banded gobies. One of my favorite fish as I have 5 of them in my big tank and they are awesome to watch hang out together!

thanks a lot. i wanted this guy or a wheeler shrimp goby. think those 2 have the most color out of the goby family. the tiger shrimp hopefully found himself a home. he dug around for a good week before hopefully fingers crossed knock on wood he found this hole.
when in groups do they swim in the open more. mine seems to be in with the shrimp most of the time.
