Just ask my son! He turned 18 two weeks ago and knows "You aren't a real adult until you support yourself, pay your own bills and make responsible decisions." And IMO he is a pretty special kid, he graduated HS at 16, went to Ecuador as an exchange student and will be a second semester sophomore when he returns to college this fall. He also has a MEAN mom!

Gwen's right, he is normal! Well, actually he is not normal, but he is not a reefer!

And, base rock will be just fine. It will turn into LR in a little while.

For now with a fish setup, the biowheel doesn't matter too much. It's prolly better than no filtration.

I have heard that if u release the goby/shrimp towards the front of the tank, it's more likely they will make their home right in front for you to watch. I don't have a pistol, but I see my goby all the time.

What you have is fine. I feed different frozen stuff, and dry pellets.

I would stick to 2 fish for now and see how that does. Then maybe slowly add another fish if you can keep up with the bioload.

shrimp are ok, don't add much bioload, and are apart of your clean up crew.

convert your bedroom into a fishroom, and you can do a lot more!
