Will be adding more sand today since it's still new I also will be adding some more LR pieces from my already establish system so there would not be a long cycle process....
Petsmart had the 30LB bag of Aragonite dry sand on sale for $15.99 sweet deal.


Enjoy

Any suggestions on Live Stock? I was thinking Black and White Clown and a 1" goby?

I am looking at putting one of these in my tank. I really like sand sifting gobys and those guys stay small enough to be kept in a 10 gal. Sand sifters are really interesting to watch.

Ziggy has a couple of these blue neon gobys that i know he really likes. I've never had one but you could ask him about them. They stay nice and small.

I also have a clown goby that is a nice little fish. They like to perch on coral and in cracks of rocks. He will dart out and grab some food and then bolt back to his favorite spots and repeat till he is full. Kinda funny. They come in a couple different colors as well. I have a green.

Dart fish are another good option too. They are kinda cool looking and like to kind of hover out in the tank. Never had one myself but you could even put a small group of them in there if you wanted.

hhhhmmmm, Interesting Clown Goby sounds good. Yellow Clown Goby would a good addition. Yes sand sifter goby was going to be my other option.

I love the yellow clown gobies. In my ten, I found a Goby and a clown fish cohabit fairly well. I have a Maroon Clown, and a Zebra Goby. I used to have a firefish goby with the clown, but He was so scared of the clown (for no reason I could see...not much aggression towards him), that he really didn't eat too well. I really like the Black and White clowns too. Not really too familiar with Whites..
