need some advice (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

I have a 6 gal tank with a clown and a royal gramma and 3 snails nasaris, bumble bee and turban, not turbo.
tank is up about 2 years. all is well.
clown stays on top of coro that is about 1 inch below the surface. royal gramma on bottom in a little cave.
what would be a good choice for third, and final, fish addition that would stay in middle??

IMO you have maxed out on fish. Add a hob filter, and make it into a refugium then you are good to go.

That is a huge bio load, go with an HOB and you could add another. Get an AC300, and convert it. for fish, go with a small gobie

Actually the tank is designed for 4 times the bio-load it has now. I do a cup water change when nitrates get to 15, which is seldom.
I have room for only about 3 gal water, as I have 35 pounds mixed live rock, 3 inch deep sand bed, on top of whick is 2 inch crushed corol and shell, with lots of stuff growing in them, from sand/corol from many established tanks.
I have 2 power heads moving 400 gph each.
I use a feeding ring so he flakes will not get to the power heads before the fish get to them.
The nasirus snail seems to like to be in the outflow of the power head when I start feeding, the other 2 snails keep the glass and corol/live rock pretty clean.

I am considering a goby, but not sure. anybody have clown, royal gramma and goby?

I'd try a yellow clown goby.

Would the yellow clown goby get enough food. The reason I ask is the percula clown and the royal gramma are chow hounds and ceorw the feeding ring and each other when I feed them.

you could also add in the use of pellets which will sink and the goby can forage from the bottom.
