    Thanks for the info!! Definatley planned on a larger refugium full of chaeto with a good light. Been dping a ton of reading amd it seems if i prpvide a better place in the sump for algae to grow, it will help keep it outta the display. Do you reccomend starting the refugium while the tank is in...

    Eel aggression

    Ive learned alot about keeping fish togethor that you shouldn't in the fresh water game..for example wolf fish. Its always been said one to a tank and never add two different togethor in the same tank. I currently have a 10" columbian black wolf and a generic 14" malabaricus in the same...
