    I'm no expert but since i can only put 4 fish in my 29 gallon 2 fish would probably be too much in a 5...? but idk, i could see a clown goby in there.

    I've heard that goby's can fight in confined spaces. Just something to research is all. I think that 1 fish is really enough for 5 gallons of water.

    thats why i may consider going to an 8 gallon, i had a friend that had a neon goby pair in an 8 gallon. that was really the only thing in the tank but just the way it was set up it was one of the coolest tanks i had ever seen. i want to sort of recreate that.

    yeah but that is medium sized fish, if you were to put clown gobies or neon gobies in your tank i would think you could probably put 9-10

    Yes, he could. If only they weren't cannibalistic and territorial. ;)

    got my rocks from marcos!! there are some really good pieces but i have to admit there were one or two smaller pieces that looked like they had litterally just been broken off a piece of white tile. but otherwise great quality! i have about 6 pounds in the tank, the best six pounds IMO. but ill take pictures once i get a more permanent scape. it looks so reef like already!!

    Ye, I really like that aqueon brand. I don't have the circulation pump, but the powerfilter is working out for me GREAT! By the way, the uniquiness of your tank is off the charts;). Keep it up!
