Mark - thanks for the extensive info. Would love to check out your setup one day. (BTW I have bought a saw blade and will work on the acrylic soon :) ). Think I will start doing Phyto. One step at a time. Already have the air pump and airline tubing. Just need to find a suitable container and a...

Is there a lot of benefits to both fish and corals (other than breeding) cultivating Phyto & Pods to feed the tank? How about Brine? Like to hear from those who have are doing this. I know Paul B feed Brine everyday to his pipe fish. Does baby brine shrimps also benefit corals?

Thank you guys. Can't wait for the corals to fill up the tank.

Almost 4 months after the rockwork change. It certainly has proved to be a challenge. Went thru a lot of algae problems. But learned a lot too. I now run BP + Chaeto/Caulerpa + GFO. BP is less than half of the recommended dosage. Just a little GFO to remove the extra PO4. Really like the...

I see you have a few bubble algae on the rocks. Get a few emerald crabs to take care of that before it gets out of hand. With tank of your size just skimmer is not enough. Refugium or some type of carbon dosing is needed.

Your combo is very white. I would start with 6 B+, 1 C+ and 1 P+. If it's too blue then use 2 C+ instead of 1. I like P+ which bring out the red.

I put the scopas in a week ago. Yesterday it was covered in Ich, in the DT. There are at least 20 spots floating on top of the slime. It happened really fast. One day there is nothing the next whole body is covered. Today the spots are mostly gone. None of the other fish is affected so far. So...

Shrimp and inverts are kept in normal salinity while most fish are kept in much lower levels in most stores. If you didn't drop acclimated for more than one hour I would say this might be the reason it's dead

I bought a small tang last week and put him in a 20L with some rocks. I was gonna give it some Prazi treatment to deworm it. I heard deworming needed for wild fish because new fish are laden with all kind of bad stuff, fluke etc ... But it was quite stressed so I said what the hell and put him...

I see mine everyday and he sleeps in a tupperware box filled with sand. He is not shy at all. You may want to check outside the tank :(

Glad everything's ok. Kind of disappointed by the lack of supermodel involvement in the story. Paul, you could've written that and we'd have believed it.

I highly recommend Herbie style drain. It's completely quiet and no splashing of water into the sump. For dual overflow you can have one setup as Herbie and use the other for return + a second emergency drain. Use 3/4" for the siphon drain and 1" for emergency. I found bubble trap unnecessary...

Scopas tang. What an underrated fish! There are a few different color morphs. Mine is almost all dark blue and lighter toward the head. Not as aggressive as other Zebrasomas and the color is really striking when mixed with orange and red-colored fish in the tank.

Sorry I though the tank is 20in long. ATI is good then. You can setup rock work so your high light corals are on top.

I would go with LED's. Do you have a specific reason to setup a tank with that kind of dimensions? Seahorse comes to mind. Otherwise why not setup one that are easier to work with?

Very nice. Where does the tank go?

bump. all cleaned up and ready to go.

where are you located?

Blennies are really cool. Also I recently got a melanarus and it sleeps in the sand. The coloration is very nice too.

My only ever blasto was green and it died long time ago :)
