    If you add a goby & shrimp, keep in mind they're going to reaquascape your full bottom. We have 4 fish in our 55 & it's mostly civil in there, but sometimes there's a little aggression. Really it will depend on how all your current inhabitants are getting along. A small fish that likes to perch on rocks would probably work.

    We've had a 140 sitting in the garage since last April trying to get a stand built so we can move a couple of the fish out, so you'll really have to push to get the new tank up in my experience LOL.

    lol I know what ya mean! I've got a wishlist and a price tag! To combat that, heck, i'll do some DIY! But i'm a single dad of a young boy(only gone a few weeks in summer) so that doesn't lend itself to a project like this, especially since i wanna do the sump in the basement!

    i already have a rezquascaper, my chromis keeps buidling nests all over the tank! think he's lonely!;)

    And I may just go with some colorful shrimp, i made it through an Ich outbreak, and everyone seems happy now! May as well not push it! Let me know if ya want rid of that space hoarding tank! I'll be happy to help!;)
