Looking good, but what is antphos :question: With that much light things should really grow fast, BTW that Candycane is a real nice bonus. It also gives the Goby a place to hang out. :biggrin:

Thanks,
Antiphos is like phosban. It is made by aqua medic, my LFS doesn't carry phosban so i figured i would try this. Your absolutely right the clown goby loves to frolic in the candy cane branches!

I have had it in the tank for about a month now and hasnt started attacking YET. If it does it will get traded for something else. That was my biggest worry aboout it but i got it for free so how couldi resist? THanks for the input guys. anyone else?
