gotcha. I did a vacuuming last week actually. I was out of town for a few days and my brother never turned off the light, so I came back to a sand bed that was covered in algae. Cleaned it pretty well, but may have lost a little more sand than I planned, which is why I am wanting to add a little...

That sounds like a pretty good tip for reducing the sand storm! thanks! I don't plan on adding a ton of new sand, just a small layer to give a little more room for burrowing for the watchman goby I plan on getting soon, as well as to add a fresh, clean look to my sand bed. As long as I spread...

Hey, As it stands now, I do not have a very deep live sand bed. I was wanting to add some more live sand to my tank, but am unsure if putting a fresh layer over my existing sand bed will have any negative side effects (other than sand storm)? As always, any feedback/advice is much appreciated...

I was considering one of those, or another type of goby. possibly the yellow watchman? Not super concerned about getting a fish that is going to be crazy active, since the clown and damsel are both all over the place. I am mainly looking for a cool looking fish that will at least be visible and...

Hey, I have a Biocube 14G that currently houses an ocellaris clownfish, yellowtail damsel, fire shrimp, various hermits and snail, and a few mushrooms/zoas. I used to have a tailspot blenny as well, but it died out of no where after a few months. The tank is consistently at 0 for...

Hey, I have a BioCube 14g with a clownfish, yellowtail damsel, tailspot blenny, and various inverts. I just added a koralia nano 240 for more flow and it seems to be scaring the fish. I have it positioned in the back right corner right below the top intake of the BioCube and it is aimed...

Error in the post. $120 shipped for everything is what I am asking. Still open to reasonable offers too. Please let me know. Thanks

Hey, I sent you a PM. Let me know if you are still interested. Thanks

I jumped into the hobby too fast and quickly realized that it is not only harder than I anticipated, but also that I don't really have the time required to maintain the tank at the level that fish deserve. I have only had the tank for about 2-3 months, so it is in perfect condition. I added an...

yeah my other hermit crabs are definitely smaller than him, so I doubt he will have any issue with them. He is pretty big though. Not sure if I should keep him or get something a little smaller

Yeah I have already had 1 red-leg hermit pull another out of his shell, which led to the cleaner shrimp eating the exposed crab haha. I agree with you though, wanted to add a different kind of hermit to add a little variety to the tank. I have 3 smaller normal red-leg hermits..so I don't think...

Hey guys, So unfortunately I had to take my twin spot goby back :/ Couldn't get him eating enough. At least he is in a more established tank now and can get all the food he needs. Some happier news..I got a couple new tank mates today for my clown! A really nice looking tailspot blenny, and...

carey - where would you recommend placing it? Since the stock pump is on the far left side, I have seen most people put theirs on the far right side either to the left of or right below the top intake. Is that a good placement, or is there a more ideal spot? Thanks as always! PS I am taking...

Hey, I have seen many people with BioCube 14G add a Koralia Nano to their tank (often at the top right of the tank near the intake to chamber 1). I have a couple of questions regarding this: 1) In your guys' opinion, would the benefits of adding it be worth the $? 2) would placing it near the...

Just checked that out! Shipping alone is $50..is that going to be the case regardless of where I order it from (if purchased online)?

Thanks for the suggestion! That was another one that I thought looked pretty cool. I will keep my eye out for a little bit and if I have no luck, I'll probably get something else

Hello, I am looking to add a Tailspot Blenny, but none of the LFS seem to have them here in Portland, OR. LiveAquaria.com is out of stock, and also super expensive. Does anyone know where I could find one of these? thanks!

I was told that the twin spot was pretty hardy/easy to care for by the lfs, but am finding that that is not entirely true. I attempted to feed him with my spot feeder last night and encountered 2 problems: 1) The cleaner shrimp came over and tried to eat most of the food. Since he is bigger...

@Ampedz - The PM suggests feeding the other fish/shrimp first and then attempting to feed the goby with a turkey baster or other spot feeding tool. I attempted to feed him with my spot feeder last night and encountered 2 problems: 1) The cleaner shrimp came over and tried to eat most of the...

I was told that the twin spot was pretty hardy/easy to care for by the lfs, but am finding that that is not entirely true. He has been sifting through the sand and eating from the sand pretty much non stop. Because my tank is still so new though (only a couple months old) my sand bed likely does...

I have a 14g BioCube with a clown and soon to be twin spot goby. The clown is approximately 1.5". I am going to be adding a yellowtail damsel as my last fish. To have the best chance of avoiding aggression, I want to get him small enough where he doesn't think he is the king. I know there are...

Oh, so I can expect his orange body to permanently turn blacker in color?

I have noticed that my percula clownfish has been changing in color on the upper half of his body. Rather than being all orange like he was when I first got him, it now looks like there is black mixing in with his orange. From what I have been told, this is normal. Just want to make sure that...

sweet! well I will look for one at the LFS when I go get water today after work!

sounds good! do the regular mag floats work well too?
