20g convert

[Fishman007]

Clowns are pretty tough and would do fine in a 20g. I do love my starry blenny though.

Maybe a lawnmower instead. I was lucky as mine eats frozen but i have some natural algea in my tank too. I am scared if it doesnt eat frozen it will starve.

 

[Fishman007]

Salinity 1.026! added 3g of RODI, 3g SW. Iove this litte micro star lol hes always walking around, doing his own thing. Tank is full now



nd a pic w/moon lights.

Check live aquaria when it comes to recommended tank sizes for livestock, might give you some ideas.

 

[Fishman007]

The cycle is going good, parameters are at 0 exept for nitrate which is 5. I am gonna keep doiseing ammonia and testing. Im gonna hopefully add my clowns friday-sunday if all is good.

 

[Fishman007]

Guys how much ammonia do you think 2 2 inch clowns can produce? Its taken my BB 2 days to eat 8ppm of ammonia. I overdosed on accedent.

 

[Fishman007]

Adding 5lbs of live rock tommarow. The microstar hss been going in circles around the rock all day lol.

 

[Fishman007]

Ahhh the sockets on the light busted out... This sucks. I guess i will be buying a new light then.

 

[Fishman007]

Can anyone tell me if petsmart stock lights will be enough to grow algea for the blenny? Im afraid that if i get them (they use 7,500k T8s) than they also wont be able to grow coraline. Please help!

 

[Fishman007]

Got the piece of live rock, 11lbs. Its in a 5g bucket of water right now, will be going in the tank soon. It came with loads of asternia stars! (think i spelled it right lol)



Can anyone answer my Q about algea?

 

[Jschier]

Not sure about the lights as I use LEDs but there are lots of different types of algae pellets for feeding.

 

[Fishman007]

Got another piece, 8lbs. My tests run 0 all around, i added 4ppm of ammonia last night so a good sign, adding the clowns from the 37g tonight and 7 dwarf zebra hermits i just picked up. Picks in a couple hours.

 

[Fishman007]

Heres the tank! Added 15lbs of live rock wednsday and the 2 clowns tuesday. All parameters are great still, 0 0 0. Clowns love it and are gobbeling up brine shrimp and NLS. Also added 7 dwarf zebra hermits and a few nassarius snails.

Dripping a yellow watchman goby right now, gonna get a shrimp for him tommarow.





















Also Does anyone know why the back portion of the gobys body is black?

 

[Fishman007]

Goby is in the tank, heres a pic.



Got the back covered with a lot of plastic wrap to make it so the goby doesnt jump.



Also now that you can see the goby can you tell me why he has a black body?

 

[Fishman007]

The goby colored back to yellow, wierd fish lol. Can anyone tell me some stuff about them? Like what should i feed besides brine shrimp to vary its diet?

 

[Fishman007]

The goby paired with the shrimp! Hes ben eating great! Feed brine shrimp once a day, 1/4 a block. All parameters in check, 0,0,0. Added 10lbs of live rock meaning ive got 35lbs now.

Shrimp and goby

[Fishman007]

Thinking of getting a baby lawnmower blenny some time this week. How will i QT it? Thats what im worried about...

 

[Fishman007]

Decided not to get a blenny and to get a harlequin bass. Update FTS,

Looking great. My goby had some black on it for a while but changed to yellow after it paired with my pistol shrimp.

Thanks!

I went to the lfs and they had a healthy looking H.bass but i asked him to feed it and he put in a minnow, then he tried brine shrimp and pellet but all it would eat was live. So i guess back to looking for somthing else
