Yeah, the goby was the first one i visualized in the tank when i decided to start one.Had to get a perc for my wife first, though.
Stumbled on him a couple of days ago ,so I went for it!
Just to let you know , the water and liverock was from my 55 gallon tank that has been running for 4 yeays! That is why things are going so fast!
I know its hard ,but don't rush it with a new system.
Maybe buy One specimen at a time and wait a week or two before the next!
How long has your system been running? what are you planning on buying first?

Here is my brand new 12 gal nano. I have a 24" Coralife Aqualite Pro w/150w 10,000k HQI MH w/ 2 96w True Actinics and 2-1 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow 470nm LED lamps.
I took a 6 month break to get married, buy a house and have a baby. Now that I am settled I am ready to go again. My last tank was a 30g cube mixed reef that went to Sh!t becasue of a nasty hair algae bloom that I didn't stay on top of. Thinking back makes me sick because I lost so many beautiful things. But it was my own fault. I had so much going on at the time and I didn't give the reef the attention it needed. Before the 30g I had 2 other 12g nanos that were beautiful. The last picture is of my last nano. I transferred most of its contents to the 30g that crashed.
The new reef is not much to look like but I am very excited to get going again. The reffs only occupants so far are a little xenia and a red gorgoina. I will update the thread as I move forward.

kkyyllee,def not any more fish for you! As those fish grow it might be to much of a bioload on that size tank. Just keep an eye on your water parameters.
the zoas and polyps are a good choice ,very hardy.

Thanks kkyyllee! Yeah, I loved my old nano. It was so healthy. But as you can see it got filled up and I thought I had to go bigger. Thats when I transferred everything to the 30 cube. Although I liked the 30 I came to realize that I like nano systems much better. There is just something about viewing a chunk of the ocean in such a small space that fascinates me. I'm thinking about setting 2 or 3 nanos 1 at a time all running from a central fuge/sump. I think that would look pretty cool and it will satisfy my addiction without having to get a bigger tank. For now I am gong to concentrate on keeping this tank happy and healthy.
yeah i was probly gonna ge tird of the chromis if it gets to big but right now everything is about an inch to inch and a half long but i check my water every other day,i might get a protien sckimmer just in case to help keep my tank cleanhttp://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=14676&N=2004+113771
thinkin of getting this is cheap and on sale
