redsea's 125g Reef Build

Another fish question!

Will Gobies eat Coral Banded Shrimp? I ask because for shrimp I am planning on having one coral Banded, that is it.

My watchman goby never touched any of my shrimp. Of course- right now the only gobies that I have are engineers and they don't bother any of my shrimp (3 cleaners, 2 coral bandeds, 5 peppermints). I even just did a head count because I have never thought to look.

Honestly i'd be worried about the opposite happening..CBS's can be mean little suckers..When i had one it chased after fish,ripped their fins and just harassed them constantly ..Then i got a trigger

Here is the tiny bit of rock I put in a few nights ago.

Really? Mine stay in their little corner of the tank and only come out when they want something. And these guys are huge. Their antennae are 6 inches long

Exact same with mine. He just hides behind rock with his antennae sticking out

Maybe because I have a mated pair they are nicer? They never leave each other's side.

im going back and looking over all the links and resources i used to learn, and i keep thinking i rushed my set ups. at the time it seemed like it took forever. but really i wish i would have slowed down and taken the time to just let my tank sit empty. or just stair are a small cuc while my tank matured. not saying that im far along on my plan to finish my tank. just hind site being 20/20 and all that.

Does anyone have any experience orderering from bluezooaquatics.com? Were the fish/inverts/corals healthy? Did any diseases come with them?

Have you heard any really good and/or bad things about them?

 

[redsea]

Is this the right kind of ammonia? I sure hope so, LOL. It is from Ace hardware.

 

[Hondatek]

Shake it see if it bubbles . It's shouldn't I have the exact same bottle

Thats where I order from all the time.

Thanks, maybe I will give them a try. Do you know what their shipping rates are?

 

[redsea]

As for the ammonia, do I just add a little bit at a time until I am at 4ppm? Do you have any strategies? Thanks.

I think its 34.99 but they've got a rewards program. Orders over $140 is free shipping, orders over $200 is a free lawnmower Blenny or zoa frag, orders over $300 is free blue tang or yellow tang

Awesome! So you have never gotten ich or anything like that before from them? I will QT anyway, but I just want to make sure they are as healthy as can be when they arrive.

Thanks.
