This is my goby, lol such a poser

I have 6 Green Chromis 1 Goby 1 Starfish 8 Astrea Snails a handful of hermit crabs 1 Porcelain crab 3 Emerald Crabs 1 Peppermint Shrimp I havent added anything else to this because my parameters have stayed great and all the fish seem happy. I only put 3 pieces of rock since it is only a 10g I...

Here is my 10 gallon. Finally got a pic, wanted to share :)

I always thought things would be more costly with a larger tank... I was going to pick up a 56 gallon tank today but the cost of setting it up and the proper filter would be a whole lot more than what I have on my 10gallon. Where exactly is it cheaper?

I know im overstocked but no problems thus far. I have 6 green chromis in my 10 gallon and they "appear" to be doing great. I say appear because I cannot communicate with them to know how they really are doing.

why does everyone say maintaining a 10 gallon tank is difficult? Hi, I have a 10gallon tank and I just tested my parameters. I had been testing the parameters every 2 days but its been six days since I last tested so I went ahead and tested it today. I dont understand whats so difficult about...

Dont flush them... send them to me, i'll keep them.

I wanted to drive down to either Hollywood Beach or Dania Beach and take the water from there

I completely understand and I agree. I know its overstocked. Im worried about the starfish now; im not trusting the people at the LFS because I specifically asked three times if it would be okay to keep it in a 10g. I see the star float all around my tank and then embed itself under the sand and...

wow... im not going to that place in the keys then lol. I live in southeast florida close to hollywood beach. I didnt realize I could just purchase pods, think i'll do that; thanks

I realize im overstocked, I'll do what needs to be done. Can you explain the correlation between a set amount of fish and a set amount of coral? How come I cant have a ton of coral and a ton of fish? Just curious!

The tank is seven and a halfmonths old. its a sand sifting starfish. I am using this as a learner tank so that is why its a 10g. I know a 10g is difficult to keep and thats why i chose to do so. Ive been doing excellent with everything imo and the water is crystal clear also. I would like to...

I never said my nitrates were at 0, my nitrites are at 0. my nitrates are at 10, they were at 20 which is the most theyve been, but a water change always fixes that. I use the API saltwater master test kit... What numbers should my calcium be at? Thank you for all your help!

Thank you for your wise advice. Its not that im being overly confident. I have had this tank for about seven months and nothing has happened to the fish as of yet. I started with nine chromis and unfortunately they died (probably because im overstocked, i know i am) but as of the six they have...

Yep and they each have their own sleeping place in the life rock and they all live fine!

Finished testing my water just now, I was wondering if my parameters were okay for adding corals to my tank. Date: 8/27/2007 PH: 8.2 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10 Hydrometer: 1.024 Calcium(ppm): 300 (15 drops) Kh(ppm): 250 (16 drops) 10 gallon Tank 6 Green Chromis 4 Emerald Crabs 1 Goby 1...

Wow so many replies! This indeed sounds like a grand experiment. I have a few more questions if I may. If the water on shore is so harmful and loaded with bacteria why is it okay for me to go swim there without worry? That makes me feel really uneasy about going into the ocean if im loading my...

I live in south florida. As funny as this sounds I want to make sure as laws can be rather absurd sometimes. If I was to go to the beach and fill some containers with ocean water would that cause any problems or is it my right to do this? Also, how good of a chance would there be of me capturing...
