Well here is the first shot of the "X-mas" zoanthids, they are just wedged into a crevice on the LR & hopefully they will stay since there are no crabs and snails to move them.

I am working in new setting on my camera so please bear with me.

Well Here are some quazi full tank shots, as best as I can do be that the tank is still under my stand.

It has been about 48 hours since I dumped 10 pounds of oolite in the tanks and I can finally see again.

I went through a short freak out when I could not find the "x-mas" zoo's, but they were pushed into the "cave" by the current.

I also wanted to show the depth of the sand bed which ranges from 1.5"-2.25" not as deep as i wanted but deep enough for a 10 gal.

I am still waiting to move the tank to introduce any more corals, I am planing to add the following:
pink mushroom rock
brown Xinia
white Xinia
white anthelias
clove polyps
random zoo frags.

I am trying to plan on a fish addition I allways wanted a colony of shrimp gobies probaly high fin banded since I have one in my main tank.

Has anyone had experience with multiple pistols in the same tank?

Thanks, but it has a long way to go, Im just happy that it has water in it. Not too bad for finals week.

i dont know about many gobys that can he housed together with out fighting but i am sure there has to be one. like the only one i know of is " Randall's Shrimp goby"

[fish.freak]

yea that one is sweet, but expensive.

I was planning on adding 5 or so and removing all the "outcasts".

They live in trios of 1 M 1 F and a shrimp in the wild, but buying them as a trio is $pendy.

[zero186]

so what kind of shrimp/goby are you looking for

[fish.freak]

High fin banded goby, like the one from my main tank, but it is still open at this point.

[zero186]

can you find a pair of those easy? and how big do they get

[fish.freak]

1.5"-2" im not sure the LFS I used to work at could order them that way but they cost $90 as a trio, and $15-$20 per fish.

[zero186]

not a bad idea i might want to try that

[fish.freak]

I had two in my old 20 gal and they lived in the same hole for a short stint, but then they started fighting and the newer and weaker one died off a few months later.

In the LFS they are kept in higher number without fighting, so i was planing to try to replicate that, kind of an over-stocking method like with African Rift lake fish.

Hmm, should I do Trig HW or start preping the nano move??? Thats a tuff choice... I post some new pics once I get it stocked.

cant wait
