    liverock placement

    after doing against the back and building it up I discovered a lot of dead spots where its hard to clean. I have since opened up areas revealing more sand and a much better flow and am much happier with the results.

    Why not?

    never used one but my guess would be most people who use them either dont have a sump or use the light from main display and dont want to add another light. most people have built a refugium section in their sumps. I added one above the display fed by my main pump and gravity fed back into main...

    I really like the marineland emperor filters for fresh water. I tried them on salt and they are messy with salt creep. can you put the canister off to one side instead of under tank?

    Blue Throat Triggers

    I'm considering getting a female for the male here is why. I used to raise cichlids and whenever a female is introduced the male would color up like twice as much as normal. although I don't expect them to mate (possible) was wondering if those who have a pair have experienced this.
