Arkey beat me to it - I also agree with the cocktail shrimp...

Blemmy I'm not sure why you're suggesting the Black Mollies???? Is it to get the cycle going? Cuz the Uncured live rock should do that on it's own, in my opinion.

Wow let's make this an "All-Wisconsin" thread... I agree with Salty, it could be acclimation - I have a Feather Duster in with hermits and an Emerald crab and have never had a problem.

Both the YWG and the LMB are potential jumpers, so have a plan for that in either case... in my tank, the LMB makes me much more nervous about this possibility that the goby. I see the LMB perched absolutely EVERYWHERE in that tank - sometimes right on top of the highest powerhead, which is only...

Originally posted by slouiscar Interesting. Sounds like I need a LMB. - yes, you do!! :) I need to do some research on the yellow WG. I was orriginally thinking royal gramma. Do you know if they are similar in behavior and/or compatability w/ the yellow WG? - No personal experience with the...

I think with the corals you mentioned, 40 watts would be okay. I managed to pick up a 96w for a really great deal on "that popular auction site", so if you have time to shop that way it might be worth pursuing...

The clown and the goby are very compatible - basically, because they are so different - the clown is swimming around the middle of the tank (he owns it, just like yours) and the goby pretty much "perches" on or near the bottom of the tank and watches the world go by. The LMB is the newest fish...

Keep in mind that's about an hour away. May want to check out places like Pet World, etc - but I also have heard that the one in Oconomowoc has some of the best deals on tanks. Good luck :)

I purchased the CPR based upon recommendations from multiple sources, and I have no complaints about it. I have no other mechanical filters. Two powerheads for circulation. I started with 8 lbs of base rock and 20 lbs live rock on a 3 inch sand bed. I want to bump my live rock up a bit, just...

Dockery - brace yourself. February truly sux, even those who love Wisconsin agree. But you'll get here when it's almost over. And Spring is wonderful!

Exactly! You get way from gross summers and trade it for winter...

There, you see, just the heat wave I was hoping for.... The two most common observations about our weather: Summer: "It's not the heat, it the gosh-darn HUMIDITY" Winter: "It's not the snow, it's the COLD"

I haven't yet had things shipped in the winter, so I don't know about that. I have a 29 and my skimmer is the Bak Pak. It makes sense to me to get the skimmer first, since that's what I did. :D Lights are the eternal question. Usually it depends upon what you want to have in your tank as far...

I have a skimmer plus 2 powerheads

Originally posted by Bang Guy Is the PFO ballast Electronic of Magnetic? Don't ever buy a magnetic VHO ballast. They are hot and eat bulbs faster than you can buy them. It's Electronic. I went ahead and ordered, since there didn't seem to be a huge outcry against PFO. I'm staring at it...

The trick to living in Wisconsin is to find the right balance between whining about the snow and appreciating it. I grew up in Wisconsin, so as a child I equated it with sledding and days off from school :joy: As a young adult, it was phoning around to see who was driving so we could all get to...

Originally posted by unleashed hey now i resemble that remark:cheer: Me too - the woman part, but I prefer scotch. So tell me, oh readers of the Code of Federal Regulations, does the CFR have definitions for Scotch?:D

I've asked the same question - a friend of mine has a Flame Hawk, and I asked him whether it was a problem with shrimp. He said he's never seen the Hawk bother the shrimp, but on the other hand he doesn't expect his shrimp to be long-lived. From his perspective, the Hawk is worth it because it's...

I think this new plan sounds much better. You have 3 fish in the 20g, which I think should be the max. I don't have any experience with those particular gobies, I'm assuming they will co-exist peacefully?

I think you should just stop buying fish. Put maybe one clown goby in the 5g and distribute the rest of the fish between the 20 and the 55.
