Just got back from Myrtle Beach and my tank is looking great! I left it in the hands of my mom for a week and my clowns and corals all seem happy and healthy. The sand bed is 100% clean just the glass is covereddddd. Any suggestions on a cleanup crew for the glass?

Also...I took the frag plugs off of my torch and duncan coral and the duncan got extremely slimy in the process...normal?

I'm long overdue for a picture update I'll take some tomorrow. I came home and cleaned the glass and everything went into hiding and now the lights are off for the night.

I've got the 2 clowns and I wanna get a goby of some sort...suggestions?`

More pics.:biggrin:
A yellow clown goby or a citron goby will do for that.
I've had no luck with yellow clown gobies though. They don't eat and waste away when I tried them on my old fluval edge.
To think of it I had no luck with gobies. Caution with an open top as some jump out. I had tried a twin spot goby twice and the both jumped out of my current set up.
I just got a 2 spot blenny instead. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is the fish for me now.

Nerite snails are very good at eating algae off tank walls, but i have a astera snail that seems to spend alot of time on the glass where there is plenty of algae on the rocks for it.

Also you said that you have nassarius snails? They wont help with the algae as far as i know. They will aggregate your sand but they eat detritus and left over fish food.

I love my yasha hase goby (he finally comes out now) but i have heard great things about yellow watchmen goby also.

Well...I finally got some pictures for you guys. The light makes it difficult to get some good shots and close ups are nothing but a reflection of my iPhone.

Currently I have a single headed duncan, 2 headed torch, 2 headed frogspawn, kenya tree, feather duster, GSP and RSP and some random zoas. I have a goniopora in the tank (stupid purchase I couldn't resist) that won't come out and am looking to trade for anything really.

Here are some pictures! I have some build up on the powerhead and sand that's not algae just looks like...crap. Not sure what it is but it doesn't look pretty.

I have an emerald crab, 3 red hermits, and 3 nassarius snails but they don't seem to do much. I think my clowns mightttt be pairing up since the smaller one has been twitching recently and then the larger clown bites...hoping this is them pairing up.
