cleaner wrasses serve a unique niche in the reefs and if we (as a club) are to try and encourage people to save the reef- there is no better place than starting with the wrasse.
I've read that places where the wrasses have been harvested (for ornamental hobby) resulted in more fish showing...
Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing)
I was thinking of getting some regular anthia and using photoshop to make them blotchy...do you think that would work? ;)
i'm waffling on the tang - if I get one - it will be last in the tank. They are prolific eaters and poopers and...
I'd guess the sand too but why not hold off on kalk dosing until the sand has "clumped" a bit with the bacteria. Are there corals in there already that you want to boost the CA?
Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input.

Anyways - I forgot to mention that those pics are great -...

Do I dare ask what "the end" is....as in a cuke's end and the end results of that meal? :-X
Everything is looking great! I can't wait to see a FTS.
Any pics of your QT? how did the tangs do in there for 2 months? were they skittish?
I see you went away and came back a believer in the algae turf scrubber.
I'm not sure i buy the idea of no skimmer or other macro algae - so I guess I am a firm "on the reservation" guy. LOL.
Personally not a fan (i am just truly lazy and a believer in an over-sized skimmer) but would love to...
razor - I split your posted question about a DIY skimmer and put it in the DIY section.
