Hey guys, I just added my first fish (firefish goby) to my 36 gallon bow front and i thought i would share with you guys how the tank looks so far. I still want to possibly add some more live rock down the road because the tank seems really empty to me but maybe thats just me lol, but here are the specs for the tank.
- Pengiun 350 Power filter
- Seaclone 100 protein skimmer
- Koralia 1 power head
- 20lbs live sand
- 15 lbs of crushed shells and argonite (base for live sand)
- 18lbs of fossilized coral
- One 15lb piece of live rock
- 2 fake mushroom anemones (these are already growing brown algae so i'm debating removing them but the snails and crabs love them)
- 3 turbo snails
- 1 bumble bee snail (hitchhiker on live rock)
- 5 hermits
- 1 firefish goby
Ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are all good and the pH is 8.0 so far so good. Also, any suggestions as to what to feed the goby? As of right now i only have flake food. Thanks guys.

nice start. i dont know a goby's particular diet but i feed my fish mysis shrimp, pellets, and flake. you should try some meaty foods. if you want to hide your equipment a background is always a good idea. i bought a blue side and black side one and it really made my tank look alot cleaner and better in a way.

Looking good so far.
I would remove the fake plants though.
I've been thinking the samething, when i first bought them i thought they would be cool in the tank but after i added them it doesn't seem like they fit in very well with the tank nor do i think they look very good. All they are doing is growing brown algae so i think i might be removing them. And i am also looking at getting a background like suggested to cover up the equipment in the back. I have a lot of work to do for the decor, its no where near where i want it to be, but thanks for the responses so far guys and if any of you have any suggestions as to what i can do to make the tank look better please let me know.
