My 40 breeder reef tank

[bgmann12]

I started this thread in the getting started section but now that it is up and running I'm going to continue it here. At the moment it has 2 clowns in it and some snails and hermits. I got a gsp frag yesterday as my first coral and am going to try to make an island of it on the sand.

Dang, that's looking pretty nice!

 

[bgmann12]

Thanks it is my first saltwater tank.

 

[bgmann12]

Do you guys think a sand sifting goby would be good in my tank, if so which one? Thanks

 

[Sniperhank]

Watchman gobies are always popular. I had a yellow at one point that was a neat guy.

Do watchman gobies sift sand?

 

[Sniperhank]

Yeah. They make a nice little burrow to live in and will even pair up with some pistol shrimp.

 

[bgmann12]

Oh I was talking about the ones that eat sand and spit it out their gills like the diamond goby.

 

[Sniperhank]

Yeah, they do that.

 

[bgmann12]

Even the yellow watchman?

 

[Sniperhank]

Mine did.

Wow never heard of that, cool, thanks for the cool fact

 

[bgmann12]

What easy to keep corals are there out there that have good color or look really cool that would be good for a second coral? Thanks

 

[Sniperhank]

Depends on the light.

Oh, so you can keep anything you want...I think every tank should have some duncans.

+1, Duncan's are great, acans, blastos, and any of the euphillia corals are all easy lps. Rhodactis and ricordea mushrooms are both easy and come in pretty much every color

Cool, thanks guys.

+1 for the duncans. i got some almost dead cause all my fish stores suck, but they bounce back so quick and look amazing. ALSO a fungia plate is a must.

 

[bgmann12]

I do later on plan to get a fungia plate, thanks.
