I just picked up a yellow clown goby as first and likely only fish for my 5gal Marineland portrait pico tank. Upon temp and drip acclimation, in the new tank he settled down in a spot sorta between a rock and the glass at the sand bed. I left him alone overnight, in the morning I decided to feed some frozen mysis that my LFS uses for all their fish. He was still in the same spot. I turned down the filter flow for feeding, and almost immediately he began swimming and exploring again, almost like he was bracing himself against the flow the whole time! He didn’t really engage the food.
My question is this - when doing research it seemed like 20-40x turnover was good for a mixed softies/LPS tank. The hang on back I bought does up to 175gph, or 35x my volume. How do you get enough flow for your (future) corals, while not blowing around your nano fish?
TIA!
