Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Yeah that looks pretty good. Look for the green clown gobies, apparently they stay smaller. Blennies can be a bit territorial so he might be my last add. Overall it looks pretty good.
Depends on the fish. What becomes critical with a smaller tank is finding out where the fish "lives" So you can get more fish in if you plan it out. For example a goby and pistol shrimp will live in your sand and rocks, so you could probably do two of those. Cleaner gobies live kind of on...
Steve congrats on the cycle looking close to being done. Let us know if you need help with final fish selection, we kept 10g for a couple of years.
Brine shrimp are easy to culture, we have done it off and on for the past couple of years. We have not done it for a while after we started...
Yeah we have had people walk by our house and see us outside and ask about the tank. Without Internet grouos, feeding is a small world so I am not surprised he reached out.
I think a combination of pumps is the right way to go. The gyre will add a ton of flow and you can probably pull some of the other powerheads. Keep them and see how the gyre performs, and than augment the flow with what you have.
