    i kind of like it but it is probably hard to tell from a picture. i don't think 36 lbs of live rock is too much for a 24. however, i am concerned that the goby will have enough sand to sift.

    cant put a sump off of a nanocube, or atleast as far as i know-------

    its not bad, and pictures came out way small...but it has a lot of nice caves, but it just looks sloppy, i like the pile of rocks look tbh, but not a sloppy pile of rocks, and the weight isnt bad, but i have 2 sets of mated pair clowns ni there, which are now limited a lot on room...........as for the goby, i put amphipods in every other day or every 3 days and he eats blood worms pretty regularly.....he has been in there for about 4 months or so....grown a lot........


    ANOTHER QUESTION, I HAVE A BLUE RICORDEA MUSHROOM AND I CANT DECIDE WHERE TO PLACE IT IN MY TANK...ITS LIKE THE SIZE OF A NICKEL, HE IS SMALL....CURRENTLY TOWARDS THE FRONT PANE OF GLASS MIDDLE HEIGHT, SLIGHT LEFT OF CENTER.....IF THAT MADE SENSE.......GOOD SPOT? BAD SPOT? HAS 36 WATT COMPACT FLORESCENT 10,000K AND 7,100 ACTINIC......

    scape it into something... make a cave or two. It won't look like "too much" at all.
