Dude with a 12 Gallon JBJ setup!

[Bafia]

Hello!

I have been a lurker here for quite some time and decided to introduce myself! Got into the hobby about a year ago and it's definitely a great escape from the real world! Here's a link to my video of the tank. It is a bit dirty, forgive me

Thanks for all the kind words people! I definitely do constant water changes, everything is happy. I was about to buy a 28 gallon JBJ cube but figured I'll make a bigger jump in the future. I'm pretty content with this so far!

1 Goby (Forgot the exact name)

My shrimp do scavenge for every bit of food, no matter how much I give them. I spot feed everything in here. I usually try to fend off the shrimp with the turkey baster.


Sorry about the flipped pics

Looks like a Bicolor Blenny.

Yep, thats what it is! I have a question, I want to remove the hood and switch to LED's. Will this be overkill? This specific one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/165W-Dimmable-Full-Spectrum-LED-Aquarium-Light-Marine-Reef-Coral-SPS-LPS-Lamp/251495773757?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIC.MBE&ao=1&asc=38804&meid=5517088c8c324b7884399f1ed05e283c&pid=100005&rk=4&rkt=6&sd=291367360195#rwid

It will be overkill but you could use it at low power and near the surface of the water. Otherwise you will have lots of light spillage.

Thanks for the reply Irsug, I guess i'm just preparing for the upgrade to a larger tank
