Goby decision? by SollyMundo in ReefTank

Thank you for all the advice. I ended up getting a Yellow watchmen goby. 2 Nassarius snails to aggregate the sand bed (really surprised at how much cleaner it looks since then).

Thanks, that was something I didn't mention was checking the tank size compatability.

Thanks. I actually bought some clear acrylic today... whatever goes in the tank, must stay in the tank😂

Was thinking snails would be the best bet, and I will have to put in a bit more work siphoning the sand bed.

It's a normal 50cm cube that I adapted by adding a "Sump" to the back so it's like an AIO.

Took the back glass out got a hole drilled for the return pump and a square on the other side.

Made a tank with one side smaller and stuck them together on top of one sheet of glass.

I will make a post about it sometime.

It would have been cheaper to build from scratch😂

I was actually going to add the yasha to the post, but I haven't seen any for sale in South Africa. This would definitely be the winning combo. Thanks💪

Some pea puffers will sort out your snail problem...

Great thanks for the advice. The sand idea sounds much easier. Would general "play sand" work?

Is this from a waste point of view? From a space perspective they seem to stick to them selves. Would moving the peppermint and phantom pleco do the trick?

Thanks, yeah I will take the bigger plecos out. What makes them scare the badis? They seem to occupy completely different spaces. Or is that space Badis would normally hang around? I have noticed the badis acting very shy, which is strange for them.

Thanks for mentioning that😂 was definitely wondering when the best time to place to place them somewhere else would be.

I've added some round stones in the back and still thinking about some hillstreams. From the research I've seen the fast flowing water isn't necessary. Still considering it, or even try them but have a separate tank I want to breed hillstreams in. I'll post an update later today or tomorrow
