This is my first tank under 60 gallons

10 gallons of filtration
36 watt power compact lighting
3 lb piece of live rock
3.5 lb of live sand
1 yellow goby
12 blue leg hermit crabs
1 gold coral banded shrimp
and a few corals I dont remember the names of
Let me know your thoughts and ideas on making this a beautiful little eco system thanks

Dude, looks awesome. So is it 3 gallons or 10 gallons? I guess I'm confused because you said it has 10 gallons of filtration.

It is a 3 gallon I put 10 gallon filter on it

looking great! i see its the TOM TOM 3g acrylic tank! looking super! hows the cleaning on it????

 

[iggyframe1]

cleaning it is tricky. i put the live rock to close to the back making getting to it a real pain. but other than that no real problems yet

yellow goby as in yellow watchman or yellow clown?.... looks nice, but it would look even nicer with some more colorful corals

 

[mastertech]

that is alot of crabs!! i only have 12 in my 125g and they are only about 3/4-1 1/4 inch in size.
looks good.

I think it is a clown. He is full grown and about 3/4 inch long. on the crabs should I thin them out a bit? like 2 or 3 in a 3 gallon

 

[iggyframe1]

can you all please tell me the names of these corals and fish?

 

[tang master]

every coral in the pic? the fish looks like a yellow canary or watchman goby

 

[nissan577]

thats a Yellow clown goby! and a hairy mushroom i think

 

[iggyframe1]

I put some Zoos in. let me know what you think

 

[small triggers]

looks great!! so you have a goby AND the clown in there???
hows that going?? seems like alot of bioload for such a small tank?

 

[mxkris]

Ah! So cute! I like the zoas! Spiced it up a little bit! I want to start a 3g so bad now!

Seems like everyone has one!!

 

[iggyframe1]

Just the clown now. I traded the Goby for the clown .

 

[nissan577]

3 gallons is wayy too small for a clown fish IMO
