    cleaner package to add?

    well thank you everyone! I have done a bunch of research and got a lot of mixed reviews. Most did say that if I feed enough that stuff reached the bottom, I wouldn't have a problem. As for the Sally I've never heard that, I might rethink that one. I don't know why but I have a fetish with...

    cleaner package to add?

    well thank you, I got the light because I might get corals in the future, as for alge, I have more of a problem with the brown stuff. Nothing else is really bad. I like the looks of all the invertabrits is the main reason I want to get them.

    cleaner package to add?

    I am running a protien skimmer, I have orbit PC lights 260watts, and my fish are a koran angel, foxface rabbit, lawnmower blenny, and a watchman goby. I was also wondering what would be the best way to feed them, and if I did decide to get all them, how is the best way to feed them?

    Hello everyone! I have a 55 gal tank, 50 lbs live rock, typical clean up crew, a foxface, koran angel, and a watchman goby. Over the next year I would like to add a neon goby, firefish goby, and a 6-line wrasse. Any reason why this wouldn't work?
