2 x neon gobies
sailfin blenny

LOVE THE TANK.

One thing I see though (may have been covered already but didn't read anything just looked at the amazing pictures). The large clam on the right of the tank. What's the story on it? It's concerning to me as every picture you posted the mantel is retracted.

It's a clam I had in a 500g tank but did a flatworm exit treatment on that tank just recently and the clam didn't take well to it and ended up with pinched mantle , we've brought him home and he's gotten several freshwater baths and seems to be opening more each day:) this cam is quite a few years old and pretty hardy;)

Thanks:)
 
How does the heniocus do in your tank? On Live Aquaria they recommend a tank of >125 gallons for it.. Cool looking fish would love to have one but thought 60 cube was too small.

long term they would need a larger tank for sure , i have several other large tanks he can go in once he gets to big or worst case scenario he will go to my work:)

hes been doing great eats everything i offer and doesn't bother anything in the tank , hes out and about all the time and is very healthy so far:)

thanks guys:)
 
Took some pics over the weekend and we will post them in the next few days but tank is on cruise control , our large maxima the one that had pinched mantle seems to have made a full recovery and back to his normal self after a few fresh water baths. All our gorgs we added have now finished doing there shedding from going to a new system and look great:)

A little while ago we had a mishap with the doser and I put the wrong cap on the vinegar bottle instead of an A I put a V on the Alk bottle so I thought it was vinegar ...stupid me set it up and was dosing Alk on a vinegar schedule while another pump was dosing Alk on its reg schedule , dkh went to 14 before we caught it but is now back down and problem rectified . We got a little stn on a couple acros but that has stopped so could have been worse :)

We are going to be finishing the cabints over Xmas which we are going to be doing I think in stone if not some sort of tile :)

Funny enough the loudest part of the system and the only thing that can even be heard is the jebao dc pump even on speed 3 it drives me nuts lol the enclosing of the stand should help though:)

Will post pics soon as well another video:)
 
tank is crusing along well


lost my bannerfish though which wasnt a big surprise ive never had much luck with them before but was hoping it would be diff but alas it was not


as well my squamosa over the last week has been shut down , i couldnt figure out why but was home most of the day today and found out the issue ....turns out my pair of neon gobies are eating him , they are attacking him every five mins so ill have to set up a small trap and get the little buggers out its not worth losing $800 in clams for $40 in fish lol

on the pus side my large maxima tear drop on the right of the tank has recovered fully from the pinched mantle after some freshwater baths , and the gobies dont seem to be interested yet i the maximas only the squammie lol


here are some pics , i need to invite someone over that has a better cam,era than my s5 does but till then it gets the job done



















 
things are doing well , we added the rest of our ricordias puts us at close to 100 shrooms lol as well we added a very large sebae anemone to the family :) had to move the tube anemone to the back in the dark to make room for the sebae:)


rock is becoming covered in coraline and everything is healing nicely from the dosing going awol

still at 40mls of vinegar and no readable nitrates or phosphates , still on original batch of gfo and the tank has only seen a couple water changes:)


flow is a bit of a ***** but we are working on it , still have the koralia in there until we decide what top do :)


here are some pics and a video coming once it loads:)
