Tank for Christmas

Thinking an engineer goby may disagree with you on that one.
My opinion, sexy shrimp and 1 small goby, like a White Tiger Goby (have one of these in my tank) or Neon Goby. Few small critters for a clean up crew as well like you have already mentioned.
i have 2 stocking choices id like to choose from:
1: 3 sexy shrimp, 1 bumblebee shrimp(always thought they looked cool), and 1 trimma or eviota goby
2: 5 sexy shrimp and 2 trimma or eviota goby

I would go with #1. More variety. Never seen a bumblebee shrimp in person myself so that would be a cool one to have. Thought of another really cool goby perfect for that size tank, a Panda Goby!
If you thought a Clown Goby was small, look at the Panda next to a yellow clown goby.

I can't recall, but I think bumblebee shrimp are gnathophyllid shrimp like the harlequin shrimp. I know they will eat starfish "feet," but I'm not sure if it is an absolute requirement for long term survival.
i did not know that i will have to do more research on them(which i just did and another common name for them is the striped harlequin shrimp lol). well i guess they are out the window because i dont want a shrimp i have to feed starfish to.
i will probably go with choice number 2 then, i might not have the variety but i will be sure to get 2 different gobies which will give a little more color variety.
i have also found a solution to my lighting needs with a PC retrofit kit from nanotuners.com

this will give me 36w of light over the tank which should be ample lighting
yeah i am no longer surprised by how small gobies can be because every time i think ive found one that is the smallest i see a post about another species that stays even smaller lol
now all i have to do is find a place for the tank, find somewhere that sells the sand i want, find some rock, retrofit the hood, order everything, and set the tank up. boy do i have alot to do lol
