Hey all
i recently took down my 2.5g and moved it to a roomier 10g with nicer lighting (coralife t-5's) and some actual sand and more liverock(i actually think i need more LR).

Stock:
Percula Clown 1"
2 Yellow tail blue damsels 1.5" each
clown goby ( has been missing for about 2 days no idea where he has gotten to)
Colt coral
Various zoos (including a few people eaters)
Yellow Polyps
baby mushroom (on back of yellow polyp rock, I positioned it so that the polyp still gets plenty of light)
small feather duster colony <1"


Hardware:
Coralife dual bulb t-5 fixture
1 actinic bulb
1 10000K daylight bulb
maxijet 400
minijet 404
(the dreaded) skilter 250 with airstone mod
10w heater ( although i don't think i need it any more the bulbs add the heat which stays right at 80F)

NOW for the pics

first obligatory FTS

They keep to themselves they tend to annoy my sand more than the other fish but if they do start to mess with my others they are going back to the LFS and getting traded for firefish or a gramma

can't really tell cause of the picture, but are you sure those "minidusters" aren't just hydroids?

very nice. The damsels should be fine in there. The clown can take care of itself... Shouldn't bother teh goby.

Looks great, but aren't you worried about overstocking? I had thought that a pair of clowns was more or less the limit on a ten gallon. (I only ask because I have much the same setup, (plus a 5 gallon refugium w/ another 5 lbs of lr.) and I'm really jealous of your stock!

That's exactly what they are :).

You don't really want those--they spread once settled in and have a potent sting.

Thanks!!!

the fish haven't affected the water quality at all really but one of those damsels HAS GOT TO GO
it is picking one all the stock.
i think it may go in the 2.5 gallon

once i catch it that is.
