@Waynerock - do you have a build thread? I'd love to learn from you to get a tank even remotely as nice as yours.

Not really I did a rebuild thread kinda when I broke it down and switched tanks under warranty but I don’t think anyone has even looked at it, I just gave up on it. I really appreciate the kind words if you ever have any questions I am more than happy to help

updates?

Small update….. clowns still doing great. Have a coral beauty in QT that has some issues I’m treating before moving her to the display.

@Supa great start. Following. Just remember nothing good happens fast in a reef tank. The key here is patience. Tap on my Build Thread Contributor badge underneath my username to see my Reefer 250 thread.

@Supa thanks. Love flame hawks, lots of personality, adds big splash of red. I’m interested in what a citron goby looks like under whites. Think you could get a pic?

This isn’t full whites as my radion are older model and button override disabled unless I plug into the computer….. but yea you can kinda tell this particular one is more of a flesh colored, under some blues its colors pop. I don’t run heavy blue but a good amount of blues and little less white.

@Supa wow thanks appreciate !!! I’ve read you can have several gobies of the clown group in a tank.

I have it in a 55 gallon tank, I was skeptical about buying the clown goby because I have a medium/large flame hawk, and have heard that perching fish don’t do well together. After a few days they are already friends it appears, they hang out together a lot. Hard to see but they are both a cave together.
