    I have a 14 gal bio cube! nano reef geeze. I used to have an 8 gal. but I sold it. I NEED a bigger tank! Lighting is what sucks most it's so expensive. when I get my final 75 gal tank Im getting T5 lighting! Im going all out. And I even have a job :p but its hard when you have to pay 300+ for college text books. And I also am buying a mac book this semester which will be around 899.. sooo.... Im basically screwed for a couple months in the salt water hobby :(

    oh what other fish are in the tank? and yeah i dont know what i would do without my 45 even though i got a year or so before i start on it. yeah college is going to be interesting. parents paid for the tuiton but i still need books and other stuff :-/. im sure you could find a used one cheaper or even a brand new one cheaper. maybe even make a thread asking around for one? just giving ideas :). i'm too young for a job ( i think ) but i referee so thats about 20$ an hour when i do ref. and volunteer at a local aquarium but thats justt volunteer so no pay :p

    I used to have no fish really just a clown goby. But now I have the baby clown a cherub pygmy angel and the clown goby plus the fire shrimp and snails, thats about it. I need a bigger tank for the angel.. he seems very happy tho. college sucks everything haha my parents pay for my tuition. I get half tuition since my dad works at the U of U so thats good. Im on the hunt for used books haha. You have to be sixteen for a job! just find some random retail job. Its kinda hard now tho. but its good to have income! I would so volunteer at a local aquarium if there was one around in utah :p

    "technically" i do work and get paid so :p cherub angel how big do they get? clown gobies are colorful and they're really cool. they have a funny personality right? probably got too much on my bioload atm so dont tell anyone :p two baby black clowns gecko goby and skunk cleaner shrimp. i made the mistake of getting hermit crabs though. how many corals are in it? for my 45 i want a marine betta and some kind of filefish or a DFL. reatail as in like walmart? i think my friend can get me a job at a local chick-fil-a so well see. and yeah the aquarium is cool except i always get stationed at freshwater or something other then saltwater.

    oh boo freshwater is boring... But retail as in.. some store in the mall.. ya know. teenage stuff the chick fil a would be good as well just something part time would do. The cherub will only get around two inches.. not too bad. The clown goby is hilarious he loves swimmin around just floating on the corals.. I got the torch bubble... some red star polyps and a frag of zoas.. lots of mushrooms and down in the sand I have some favia I am hoping will get bigger. I wanted a marine betta sooo bad they are cool lookin but they are aggressive right?

    its so dumb because the only saltwater station availabe is seahorses and people look at me like im stupid when i have to point them out for them. its quite entertaining though. hmmm sounds fun ill try it then if nothing works out i'll be at chick fil a. i want a torch, im getting one soon hopefully. all i got is a medium frag of anthelia with some palys(?) on it.i would like mushrooms but i had trouble with that 1, as you know. why would you move the cherub angel?and actually they predatory but extremely shy and "shouldnt be placed with a fish that will out compete it for food" i learn a lot from liveaquaria. same warning as a seahorse aand mandarin fish! LOL also want one of those in the 45 though that would be sweet. any ideas on a coral i should get for the 8 gal?

    I see I see. I just think the cherub should have a bigger tank haha.. For the eight gallon.. hmm I used to have an 8 gallon.. If I still had it I would do sea horses! but for corals.. hmm you could try some mushrooms, My bubble coral did good in the 8 gallon maybe some zoas as well. I would def. get a torch coral. But not in the eight gallon haha. My torch is one of my favorite corals Im so glad my clown fish picked it :)

    too late for seahorse :p no torch? minimum tank size says 10 gal but ok maybe a hammer instead? zoa are cool i want a realy nice one bt my lfs doesnt have any cool ones. if you get a bigger tank then you could put the cherub in it and buy another clown for the other one ;D

    My last torch died in my 8 gal. but I didn't take good care of it im sure you could pull it off. if you could afford it some frog spawn would be awesome! I want some soooooo bad but its so expensive.. But a hammer coral would be good as well. that would look awesome. I like fuzzy mushrooms too!
