    The tank is fairly easy to care for. I just have to do biweekly wEater changes. As you can see I just have a small power filter on it.

    i used to have a small green clown goby along with the neon goby, but he died a few months back when i was out of town. i also used to have a large rock with star polyps on it but i dont know what happened with that it just kinda withered away.

    mine has started dropping them occasionally, but its not that crazy its only like 1-2 every few days or so. they just attach and grow around the main coral sorta. i agree they are pretty for such an easy coral.

    i once had a massive hermit crab that i purchased with a bta on its shell. the bta was tiny when i purchased it so i didnt even notice it, then a couple months later it just seemed to appear!

    do you think i would be able to house one more fish? i was thinking i could get another neon goby only maybe this time a yellow and black one instead of a blue and black one. also what do you guys think about me introducing a couple mini maxis into the tank? i dont have much coral in the tank right now so i dont think room would be a problem.

    ehh, i bet you could squeeze a neon or clown goby... the only issue i see is oxygen levels.

    Well I hav really been considering just switching all this over to an eight gallon cad lights mini series. The only thing I'm hesitant about is I don't think the lighting is reef capable.

    Also I hav a ton of flow in the tank so I don't think I need to worry about oxygen problems.
