    Lol I could see you are not a fan of them haha I have it on one rock but unfortunately that rock is covered in feather dusters so I don't want to nuke that one rock. I can pull the rock and get it all off ibthink

    Lookin good

    I would also take that macro out, if its grape calupera, it will spread crazy and the roots and shoots will go everywhere and it is a bit of a chore to get rid of...
    I have some in my tank and it will spread thru all nooks and crannys in the rock work but my tang keeps it trimmed pretty well, so i dont mind it and have a few various macros for diversity, but, If you do want macros go for dragons breath and similar reds, way less invasive. Just bust off that part of the rock and put it in a sump if you have one, or trade it to someone who digs macros before it goes crazy

    Call the tang police! Lol i remember a few years ago someone had a super small hippo tang in a 29bc for a few years. I dont wanna say a name in case im wrong... i can get one that may be 1". Would it eat the stuff?

    probably, but the tang police would be there asap. Not enough room for one, so i wouldnt recommend it. just break off the rock and trade it or rip it out. If you like it you could bust the rock and put that piece with the macro in a corner or something similar so it can spread on the rock and you can better control where it goes. Keeping it where it is will lead to spreading around your other rock. Macros are nice imo, but calupera can take over very easily.

    Firefish looks cool too, love how they signal to others with their "flag"

    Well a couple updates. The clown goby doesnt seem to eat prepared foods and is starting to have a sunken belly. I see him picking at my rock so i know hes getting something. And for the really bad thing, my peppermint shrimp is a monster... he tore one of my green mushrooms in half, then while i was gone detached both from their rocks and ate them..... might have to make him into dinner for a new fish....

    This is a little late but i would not recommend the tang. I was the one that had it in my bio cube. I couldnt keep him alive for more then 6 months. Not to mention the tang police wont leave you alone.
    Very nice tank, looks really good. You should be happy with it. Keep it simple and keeping up with the maintenance is the key. One question is what is your plan on keeping up on water evaperation? That is a big issue with small tanks.

    I dont plan on a tang anymore. Top offs arent bad at all. The lid saves me. I just do a gallon or so every week and pwc every other
