I use a mag-float every day and a razor blade once a week to keep mine clean.

Before you spend the money on a chiller, have you tried putting a fan so it blows across he surface of the water? If the LR's only going to be out for 5 mins or so then just put it on a towel. You don't want to rinse it with tap water though because, for one it's fresh water and would kill the...

what are your water parameters and how did you acclimate them?

You'll need more like 75-100lbs of LR to keep the Scooter blenny, they don't usually eat anything that you feed the rest of your fish They eat copepods which grow in the LR, but with only 25lbs it would quickly eat them all. I had one in my 46 with 50lbs of LR and it only lived for about 6...

Nice tank . I really like your fish selection.

It's fine, most people including myself keep it at 1.025-1.026.

I don't think it will because its a LPS coral and they have a hard skeleton.

I used to have a big aptasia problem in my 46, I tried Joe's juice, boiling water, and peppermint shrimp but none of them did a good job. I then bought 3 berghia nudibranchs and haven't saw one in my tank for almost a year.

You don't want so much that you have dead spots. That can be fixed with more powerheads in the tank, but I usually stay in the 1.5-2 lbs per gal for my tanks.

I think for what you're looking for a Bangaii cardinal is your best choice, how long has the coral beauty been in the tank though? That might turn out to be a problem, the cardinal is a very docile fish.
