    Not trying to promote anything but what does everyone think about these media basket things from InTank?

    I want to order them today but waiting for responses and to see if anyone has ever ordered them and what kind of luck they had with them? Thanks for any responses on this. I want to be rid of these nitrates once and for all.:confused:

    I would get the nitrates in check before adding anything. Removing the bio-balls will go a long way to doing that. Also the first 4 fish you had were equal in inches to the 3 you have now(adult size). Blennies and gobies are fairly small. The damsel and clown are going to get bigger and more aggressive and will more than likely bully anything else put in there. Even a small fish such as a goby will probably be picked on until it dies.

    more than likley it will for some time. it will be bad for like 2 weeks but if it survies til then it will probubly be fine. you can try reorganizing your rocks or adding some more rocks to confuse the fish

    Its way to small of a tank to keep this fish. I have had them in the past and they are hungry there is not enough food in that small of a tank to keep one alive. I think we all like this fish here but its not the righ enviroment for it though unless you have alot of money for food. The last one I go would eat live brine if I shut down the power to the tank. they are a tough creature. I had a scooter for 2 times as long as manderine and manderine for 10 months
