Simply too many places have them. Knight Gobies, however, are fairly rare. And I'll be taking the first step towards marine fish-only and possibly reef keeping.

What do I need besides this stuff?

African Driftwood (6"-9"
Python Ulti-Net (6" Round Skimmer w/ 12" Handle)
Hikari Sinking Carnivore (74 g.)
Instant Ocean Salt (50 gallon mix)
Instant Ocean Hydrometer
CaribSea Aragamax Sand
Visi-Therm Deluxe Heater (50 watt)
SeaChem Marine Basic Kit
BIO-Safe (9.5 oz.)
SeaChem Alkaline Regulator (250 g)

forget the driftwood, it'll lower the pH. tTere are some great fake mangrove roots at Petsmart.

Okay. Anythign else I should know?

You can use the driftwood, I do. You just have to be concious of it's pH lowering capabilities. I use a mix of driftwood and limestone for my moray lair in my brackish tank, and it works very well. The limestone helps to buffer the pH so the driftwood doesn't affect the pH as much.

Actually, after consulting this with my dad, we want to get a Yellow Watchman Goby and a snapping shrimp (Alpheus sp.) so we can have some marine fish. This will be in a 20g tank. Sorry to waste your time.
