BB w/gobies
Hello, I have a 72gallon tank. I am almost done taking out my CC that i had in there before. I was thinking about adding sand to my tank. But now i have been looking at the BB stuff and it seems like it would be easier to maintain. I was wondering if anyone has a BB tank with gobies? I have two yellow watchman gobies. How are your gobies doing in a BB tank. This is one of the only reason i was thinking about doing a SSB is for them. 
Thanks,
Tim

Do they need the surrounding of their bodies or will they be comfortable in the rock also...mine kinda hovered under the rock, never really burrowed. But there was sand. Does he feed ok, in the BB?

I was thinking about it. But my gobies told me they would be sad without sand.
