    Bar Goby question

    When they get more aquainted with your tank it will come out. The only way to get them to not borrow is to have them in a bare bottom tank. The flower pots are hit or miss. The only way to allow him to burrow and not get hurt is to make sure that your bottom layer of rocks is not resting on...

    **HELP**New Flooring & Tank move

    xenia may be a good coral for you, but it can be a little picky, you certainly have the right lights as it is a softie, and like moderate to high lighting, and moderate flow, placement can be just about anywhere in the tank. I also have some in my tank that would have been included in your...
