    Is my Mandarin Goby in trouble?

    92 gal 4 month old tank with approx 70lb of live rock. Is that enough live rock for a Goby? What should I be feeding him? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have a 92gal tank with 65-70lb live rock. Tank is four months old, and all levels are good. I have 3 green chromis, 2 clown fish and a mandarin goby. I want to add a hardy, peacefull fish(or pair) but don't know what. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

    Ammonia cycle question.

    Originally posted by Salty Cheese IMO I don't think it really matters, some people leave them in for a week, but if the ammonia has spiked I think it would be ok to take it out. It's not going to make the cycle happen any faster. Not looking to speed up the cycle. You have given me good...

    Ammonia cycle question.

    Originally posted by splash I am no expert, but you should have levels of 0 for ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate. Nitrate can be a bit more forgiving. The readings you have are bad. You need to be patient and wait! i'M NOT ADDING ANYTHINGFOR A WHILE, JUST WAS WONDERING WHERE i AM IN MY CYCLE...

    Four day old tank. What do you think?

    Originally posted by Coxy101 Depends - are you planning on a reef in the future or fish only. If you're going reef in the future --- the 3 chromis and clownfish (how 'bout 2) will do great. How about some type of tang? Yellow perhaps? Or purple firefish gobies - I have 2 and they're pretty...

    Four day old tank. What do you think?

    Originally posted by Coxy101 are you getting your LR locally and is it "precured"? If so, adding it won't be a problem once you have your cycle completed. The problem with adding tons of shipped or uncured LR to your tank after the cycle is over is that it could cause it to cycle again...
