Heres a recent update, new lighting fixutre (2x150 sunpod), re did the rock work on the right side of the tank. Added a bit more to the left. Added a watermelon zoo and bluespotted jawfish (dont have a pic of him yet).

Also if I want a pair of them should I introduce them at the same time or does it matter?

Alright so in my 55 I have my clown and cuc wondering if it would be alright to add a spotted jawfish as my second actual fish. Would there be any problems with this down the road?

Bump :d

Can they be kept clear enough to make sort of a secondary display tank and be clear enough to show frags? What would the added maintenance be with a refug?

Somebody school me on refugium's please, will one work with just live sand and rock? Is it possible to make a refug into a small frag tank? Also can somebody recommend a decent one for a 55g?

TTT anybody?

Alright so I am now trying to get a sump/in sump skimmer setup going. If I get a wetdry filter setup and put LR in the bio ball section would this be ok? Also is it ok for the skimmer to be in the same compartment as the sump return pump?

So I got a new MH lighting fixture a couple days ago and im noticing a brown color forming on the tops of some of my rocks. Wondering if this is possibly the beginning stages of coraline?

Its a 55g Will the goby and jawfish be alright?
