Haha I used to be the non-commital type as far as coral placement. Now I glue them down as soon as I got them. Can always move later and corals seem to do better glued down especially SPS.
As for urchin I have a bigger pincushion and love it.
I have a fish trap in Aberdeen but I don't think it will work for you. Flashlight in the dark with a small net is the best way to get hard to catch fish. Do it an hour or so after dark.
Thanks Juan and Wilson. @ericrodriguez It's an MP40. After experiment for a while I use the short pulse mode mostly @70%. The Mag seems to like the wave motion. SPS are growing faster now especially these in the tank for a while. Plan to take a while every few months to compare the growth.
Tank is getting better after eliminating the hair algae. SPS has shown some growth. Rearranged right side of the tank to accommodate the new H. Magnifica. I think I am all set for a while and will let the corals fill in.
For us reefers, not worth the admission. but kids probably enjoyed it.
Many years ago went to Paris and visited an aquarium there. Small aquarium but a lot of biotope tanks. A lot to look in each tank.
Even Jenkenson aquarium in point pleasant have some interesting tanks.
America aquariums...
Does the banded goby stay mostly on the bottom? Interesting fish. I used to see them all in the time back in the day at Tropiquarium. They also get quite large right?
For the XR15's, I just chose whatever looked good to me eyes. My Magnifica anemone is supposed to like warmer light. On that side I run the light at 100%. On the other side which is mostly sps frags I run 50% but I am slowly going up to 100% also.
I have not measured par for years. I am guess...
Yeah would definitely want a sand sifter. Not all diamond gobies will survive though. I had one before and it didn't last. I have seem them in Petco from time to time ...
It jumped for the one day the cover was not on. Love the fish now in the hunt for a new one or something similar. It kept the sandbed clean. The leopard wrasse and cleaner wrasse used to follow it around as it sifted sand for pods.
