a pair of neon gobies with the clown gobie. i have always loved neon gobies but i have never been too sure about keeping them with other gobies. i have a baby bicolour blenny under 2 inches long now and i dont know weather or not to put him in to the 14 gal or just take him back. what do you think. yeh i think neon gobies.
how much live rock would i need in the tank. i have about 3 lbs in my nano now. how much more will i need.
thanks

For 15 gallons you need 8kilos in total see http/www.reefpark.net/calculate/calculate.php

i wouldnt get turbo snails, and 6 is too many. for a 15 gallon you will need about 12lbs more lr, the neons and the clown would get along fine

 

[black molly3]

ok thanks i think i will gradualy add that as i havent got a job and am no earning. if i added the 3 lbs of live rock i have now into the 14 gal will that start the cycle within 7 days. when will i be able to add the cuc i know whn all my stats are possative but how many days. thanks. o and why wouldnt you get turbo snails. what would you sugest.
thanks for all your comments

 

[kkyyllee]

turbo snails can get big, and some of them are actually coldwater, for snails i would suggest nerite, astrea, if the liverock is cured when you get it you could probably add ur cuc after a fewdays, if its uncured it could take a few weeks before parameters are good.

 

[black molly3]

o yeh its cured the stuf i have had for out 2 months. and the stuff i getig is cured

 

[kkyyllee]

then just add the new stuff and wait a fewdays to be sure there is no die off then add ur other stuff, and youll be fine

 

[black molly3]

would arogonite sand and live rock be ok in the dark for a few days because when i go i am taking my tropical fish back this should give me 15 pounds worth of credit. then i have 10 pound or 15 pound extra i will use this to get sand or mebee some mor live rock. or could i get an 18 inch 60/70 watt light for this price.
thanks
