Any updates??

Everything coming along nicely.
Frags are all growing.
No algae outbreaks of any substance.
First fish in was a yellow clown goby. This thing simply refused to eat and eventually became part of the systems nutrient cycle. I tried everything, but it was a no go, This thing would have made Bobby Sands proud!
Recently introduced the Yasha and Barber pole gobies. Both eating well, each have claimed their own stations under the rocks.
Also moved the harlequin shrimp from the main DT, so I can see a bit more of it. Plus it finds the star fish a lot easier in a smaller system.
Been doing weekly 20% water changes, using both mix and NSW. Zero nitrates so far.
Will post some pics over this coming weekend.

Amazing how much life I am seeing popping out of the rocks.
No predators like wrasse means pods are every where.

This tank is turning out to be a clam ity
Nice selection of colours, love the hues on your anemones. They are such amazing specimens, easyish to keep that it is tuff to not keep on adding one more. Like your blue one specifically, it is quite big for a mini?
So true about pod predators. My pigmy wrasse has completely stripped my tank of all the pods, have not seen one for weeks.
Thought my refugium would restock the tank, until my 1cm greenbanded goby jumped over the back into it, completely stripped it of all live in the two days it was in there.
Will ahve to find a way to restock pods
Is that a Yashar goby peaking out?

Yes, a Yasha.
Just 3 tiny gobies there at the moment - also a barber pole and a very very small trimma (did I see 2 in your tank pics?)
:yeahdude:
Thanks guys
Yip, got a collection of small gobies now. Got two red spotted trimmas, nice fish, think I have mange to pair them up.
Do you have any issue with your Yasha and Barber Pole Goby fighting, they are so similar in shape, behaviour and colours that I was wary to put them together in a nano.
Must admit, a "not stressed" Yasha is one of the most beautiful fish around. Mine has developed bright yellow fins that he parades around with. Not shy at all any more and often swims around in full view for longs stints.

My yasha and barber pole share the same burrow.
I've never seen any aggression between them.
(now my wife and I, thats a whole different story)

Well I lost the Yasha this morning.
While feeding the tank this morning, I watched it dive headfirst into a mini carpet anemone.
Going to F%&*king Aptasia-X the lot of them this weekend !!!

Probably going to have to strip the tank, get the rocks out so I can peel them off.
Thanks
Got a couple of nice gobies in there now, am worried about the rest of them, hence why the anemones must come out.
I should have known better
