That is going to be one sweet setup. Have you decided on lights yet?

What about fish?

Your 150 in-wall looks like you added a lot more LR since I was at your place for the frag swap last year. That tank is amazing. :maitre

Thanks for the kind words! I actually took down the entire 150G and redid it from scratch.....it is 1000 times better now.

I am still trying to decide on lights for the nano.....looks like I'm going to have an extra 150W HQI DE MH setup....so I'll probably try to trade that for a HO t-5 setup or something.

How many fish do you think I could have in a 9.7 G nano?

Maybe one or two smaller goby-type fish. That would prob. be the highest bioload you would want in a tank of that size. A neon goby would be cool. Maybe a goby/pistol shrimp combo.

Yeah, I thought your 150 gal looked a lot different. How is your Frags n' Crabs business going?

I think it depends on what you decide about the Harlequin. Personally I'd go for a Harlequin pair, the seahorse/s, and a shimp/goby pair, and then let it be for awhile and make sure that it's really stable.

Then again if I were running a fish business outta my house I might try to get my hands on one of these.

It's cheaper with these guys when they have them, labeled as a spike fin goby.

LOL...Your pic looks a lot better than the crappy diagram I sent to you. :)

I'm glad you were able to figure it out with help from the descriptions.

This is gonna be one very cool tank. I'm glad I could help.

So what do you think....seeing that the tank is over 11 gallons, with a nice fuge and everything, can I keep a regular size seahorse in the 2.3 gallon chamber? He will still have the biological benefit of the entire tank, just less room to swim around (Although I will provide a very luxurious suite for him)

I'd be a tad concerned about the height of the tank with a regular reidi because they can grow up to 6". I think it would be more suitable for dwarves.

However you should have some time before the horse reaches adult size, and you can always try it out to test everything and see how the reidi does, before attempting dwarves.

On that note I'm gonna be looking for a reidi that'll eat frozen and cyclopeeze in the near future if you're gonna be ordering them.
