that gobie you have a pic of lookes like a browards sand sifting gobie not a dragon. i had one that was 6" long and he made a mess of the tank. i had a hard time getting him to eat. he was so shy that when the other fish went into a feeding freenzy he would hide and miss out on the food. he died about a month after i had him.

This is what you are looking for, you dont want anymoe additives than you see here, it is completely safe in the reef,
cedliss, please get you some and a head or red leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce, he will fill out really fast. youll be suprised how he will gulp down the frozen stuff with a few drops of the oil. stinks like heck, I think you can get 8 drops from each caplet, if you only have a fish or two then use 2-3 drops. I feed 2 or 3 little cubes and use 4 drops. Let me know, I hope you get the results I have, and many others too. You dont want to wait much longer, the longer they arent eating the harder it is to get them back healthy. the healthier they are the greater chance of them fighting off illness.
And jarhed, I used that when I fished, they think I am THE fisherman. Although I havent gotten to fish for a very long time.
chad508, When I bought the gobies, they sold them as Dragon gobies, when I aked them why I could only find freshwater dragon gobies, they said that that was how they were ordered. I dont like to argue, Thanks for the ID, they are total pigs too, never have trouble with the fish eating at all. I just wish I would have know all along that you could use the garlic in the marine tanks though, I just have used this since I set up the 180, but it save me loosing 400.00 in fish when the Hippo was covered with ich. was gone over night. I was truley amazed.

Well the tank is up and running now (some what) I still need to buy some things to keep the 180 FOWLR going. The new additions are: 55lbs of base rock from reef rock and a blue damsel
The next thing im looking to get is a RO/DI machine but not really sure what one to get. Just thought I'd post a quick picture to this thread, you all have really nice looking tanks.

Well today i order the rest of my equipment for the tank, cant wait untill i have it all set up. What I orderd was a ASM G4x skimmer w/ valve mod kit, a 4 stage RO/DI machine, two tunze 6000's w/ multi controller and a MAG12 that is going to be the return pump from the sump. Now I need to melev's site on setting up a sump without flooding the living room.
April540- Is that your skimmer hanging on the left hand corner of the tank?

642642, I am going to get an ASM-G3, (hopefully) how much did they want to ship yours? I say you put yourself out a penny or two this week end ! LOL It will be worth it in the long run, just do yourself a favor and buy what you want, if you settle for less, you will just end up buying it anyway, it will save you loads in the end.
