first pics of my 12gallon!!!! 3 weeks old

jonathanws · 06/26/2006, 03:53 PM

i'm very new to the hobby so everything is still kind of sloppy. so far i have 12lbs of live sand, 7lbs of live rock, trumpet coral, green feather duster, damsel, emerald crab, 3 blue legged hermits, and an extremely tiny hithiker crab.

i'm moving my tank into another room pretty soon. i'm going to take all of the rocks out and most of the water. when i do this i'm going to take out the damsel and once the tank is set back up i'd like to get a pair of tiny fish. probably clowns but what two would you guys suggest? what are the smallest of clowns? thanks

not sure on max size of firefish gobys, but they are pretty fish, purple ones are really nice. I just got 3 of them for my 90g, they are in quarantine doing great so far!

Your tank looks good for only three weeks. When you move it to the other room, I would consider removing the damsel altogather. They can be downright mean if you want to add other fish. If I were you I would also slow down and do not consider adding anything else at this time. Not fish or corals until your tank finishs it's cycle. Remember everything in saltwater is achieved very slowly. That way you will have the most luck with your nano.
