My 15 gallon

[demeyer2]

Ok, well I had to move back to the dorms, so I set up a 15 gallon. Same corals but different fish. My move had some complications and I lost my clowns . So I let my tank cycle and then it tested all 0's so I got a yellow watchman goby, but he's too shy for the camera. I only see this guy once a day, but I love him. My cousin is setting up his 40 and is waiting for it to cycle, so his clowns from his old tank are living in my tank for a while until his tank is ready. So here's the new tank. Its a 130 pc watt 24" fixture with a seio 620 and a small mechanical filter with carbon. Instead of skimming, I'm doing bi-weekly 20% water changes.

These were my first attempts at macro shots, I was just trying it out.

This is tupac. My cousin named his black and white clowns tupac and dre.

This is my frogspawn:

And this is my cyunlaria

What are you going to feed your new goby?

 

[demeyer2]

He's been eating flakes and cyclopeeze everyday. Plus mysis once a week.

You're only doing bi-weekly water changes? I'm surprised especially with such a small tank. If I were you I'd increase the amount of water changes to semi-weekly otherwise your nitrates will sky rocket. Otherwise that's a really sweet tank ya got there. I hope I have time for even a 15 gallon tank when I go to college. My parents won't let me take my 65 to college.

So should I do more water changes than 2 a week, or should I do more % water changes when I do them?

 

[lessans]

No, you said you were doing bi-weekly water changes. That means you're doing one water change every 2 weeks. Weekly means once a week and semi-weekly means one every half week. Just to make it more clear, the term circle is just that, one whole circle. A semi-circle is half a circle. Thus, the prefix "semi-" means half. I believe you should do semi-weekly water changes at the maximum. Don't do any more than 2 per week.

Actually bi-weekly can mean two things, if you go to dictionary.com or answers.com, bi-weekly can mean twice a month or twice a week. I should have clarified, I didn't know it also meant twice a month.
