What a cute green clown goby!!!

How long have you had the catalina? I have always stayed away from those because I heard / read they need cooler temps. Edit: Whoops, that's not a catalina... What kind of little red and white goby is that, a trimma?

I actually found my 29g biocube at texas tropical by vance jackson for a whopping $229. they told me that they rose the price by $29 dollars from before. I honestly didnt care, seeing how in most places they start about $300.:shades:

Speaking of biocubes, I'm looking into trading in my damsels for some corals and eventually clowns but do you have any suggestions on what I should update?
I still have the bioballs, and the the filter that the biocube came with. I did add a hydor circulation pump, protein skimmer, heater (its never on). What lights would you recommend on getting?
Thanks for the help!

get some live rock rubble for second chamber dump the balls pods grow better there and so does benificial bacteria, i dont run any filters except a sponge on the second chamber or some pillow fiber after a water change to help clear up quickly, also learned you really dont have to skim if you do water changes weekly, i do have the skimmers but ill run them for one day every couple weeks only on the 29g, im just coralife light 10k and actnic. no need for heater lights keep it at around 79-81 degrees, pm me for my # you can call me if you need help.
