    If you saw my thread "I made a mistake", you'll know that I bought a catalina goby for my reef not knowing it was coldwater. I never thought I'd catch a 3/4 inch goby out of a 90. BUT I DID;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D

    I saw it poking out of a piece of LR with tons of caves in it. Luckily it wasn't a piece of rock important to the rock structure. I quickly grabbed a bucket and filled it with tank water. I then took the piece of rock out and put it in the bucket with the fish still in it. I turned the rock upside down, the fish dropped into the bucket of water, and I grabbed it and put it in a plastic baby cage in the tank with a bit of LR until tomorrow or tuesday when I will go to the LFS and get the materials for a 5-10 gallon coldwater nano.

    Would a 5 gallon setup with a little sand and rock be sufficient for this guy?

    My thought is that the tank will hardly have any bioload. Also, can anyone think of anything else that could go in a 10 gallon coldwater nano?

    Of course, you are right. I am that good. And handy. It's so tough being me. You are all so lucky to be in my presence. ::)

    Name the man who said this. First one to get it gets Karma. "If you can't be handsome, you might as well be handy". No googling!!!!
