having 1 powerhead for your entire flow requirement isn't bad. In fact, it's much more efficient than having 3 smaller ones. You can add a spraybar to space out the flow so that it's more dispursed.

why not? A neon, or clown, or watchman gobie would be fine in there... notice the key word in that sentence "or" :)

green brains are pretty skittish when it comes to being moved, touched, scraped, covered with sand, new lights, current, shadows, full moon... You name it... They come back though. Give it some time - and don't get impatient and assume it needs to be moved to another spot. Moving them really...

nice! The color's coming out a little funky. Your camera's probably having a tough time figuring out what to do with the white balance with 20k MH"s and actinics...

so your personal experience is that a sandbed doesn't function in an agressive tank because the fish eat all the invertebrates? Or is your personal experience that the type of invertibrates that a trigger eats are what make a sandbed function? Not sure what you mean by "Ive done it both in tanks"?

My guess is that a lot of the experienced sps keepers run that high ;)

What's to be confused about? Let's review I'm building a 2 gallon nano tank for a "build-off" competition to hopefully win $100. I'm using a big pump I'm running a spraybar I don't know how big to make the holes Guy suggested that I use slots With a dremmel. I don't got a dremmel. And we all...

very strange.. :eek: I would say as long as he looks healthy otherwise, and he's got a fat stomach - just keep an eye. Maybe you have some strange watchman goby hybrid that's changing into his adult coloring... You never know.. Got a picture?

although I agree Guy, that worms are the best. They are pretty stationary. And unless you have access to 2600 lbs of sand to cherry pick some worms out, you're unlikely to get enough of them to really keep a large area of sand clean.. :) In time, they'll multiply and do the job. But for now, I...

I use muraic acid... Basically SUPER strong vinager ;) FYI - if you do use it be VERY careful, it's not for the faint of heart. The fumes can seriously damage your lungs, nose, throat, etc... It takes coralline off pretty much instantly... :)

wow - looks nice! Looks like you have lots of room back there for prop tanks, refugiums, and a big fridge full of your favorite frothy beverage.. :)

what happens in the fuge, stays in the fuge. As long as the above statement remains true - don't worry about it.

I'd add a school of chromis, a pistol shrimp/goby pair, a harem of carpenter flasher wrasses and a partridge in a pear tree. not all at once though - the partridge might have a family - then you've got an annoying sitcom on your hands.
