Oceanic BioCube 8 gallon nano

GO FOR IT animallove.
It's very rewarding. Many people recommend against starting SW in a nano, but I did it in a 2.5 gal pico and it worked. I just got bored w/ it and kept upgrading.
I got my Biocube 8 for $150 locally... maybe you should check into that. It's been super exciting for me, and as long as you closely watch your perams I think you can do it.

update!
I added another green clown goby on Friday. After tearing the tank apart twice to look for the other one, I gave up and assumed him dead.
The good news is, my new fish has been out and about since I added him. He really seems to like my devil's hand leather, lol. :headbang2: Here are a couple of goby pics, and a couple of FTS.
I also added a camel shrimp, but he's nowhere to be seen so far. I'm keeping an eye out still.

I've not fed him yet redskins. I've seen him pick at stuff in the tank (presumably at pods?), and tomorrow I'm going to try to get him to take frozen brine enriched w/ spirulina. After I get him accepting brine, I'll try some chopped frozen mysis. I hope he takes it.
BTW, my clown goby likes the leather more than the leather likes him lol.... I'm hoping that the leather gets used to him and shows the usual polyp extension.

I've had a Green Clown Goby for two days now, and he's been eating everything. The hiding spot he chose isn't nearly as out in the open as your's picked, so I have to look for him a bit.
Anyways, he eat's New Life Spectrum Marine Formula, the tiny pellet size, and my clown fish and the goby both eat cyclopeeze too. I dumped a full bottle of trigger pods ($24!!) into the tank hoping they wouldn't all get eaten and would reproduce, but while the pods were settling my clown fish was going crazy on them, along with the goby and peppermint shrimp. The goby darts out of his hiding spot, grabs the food, and darts back in. I'm hoping he becomes more comfortable and decides he can sit out in the open soon.
I have yet to get out the flashlight, but I have a suspicion that the goby moves around a lot more at night. Maybe you could check your tank at night to see what's going on?
And a question about those sexy shrimp. I saw them at a LFS today for 18 each, would you say that's a fair price for something so small? And do you think they would get eaten by a peppermint shrimp, (1.5") goby or the clown which is about 2"?
