Love your tank.

Some fake silk plants under the drift wood would give more hiding room for the fish.

+1 on the plants. That looked kind of scary seeing that tiny BBG so close to the powerhead!

you know mollies can be kept in brackish / marine SG, so think they will make good tank mates for him

Great shots, fishes, and set-up. I aways loved the way bubble bee gobies look and how they skip around on everything. Btw, the nice things about fake roots are the way they dont effect the waters ph and such, never changes the water yellow, and never rots..lol.

Plants can be a pain in a brackish tank, i tried a few plants (like 15) but not so much luck, Hygrophila Polysperma can live in quite hard brackish water, but they grow slow when in those conditions... Try with roots and root caves also. Algae balls also can be a nice suppliment to a brackish tank.

EDIT: Nice shot of the bumblebee :)
