    Frogspawn & Torch together?

    Can these be put next to one another...or will they sting eachother? I have heard different stories on both, and realize that they are basically the same species. Would be nice to put them closer to one another to make room for other corals.

    Feding phytoplankton ?

    I am going to start adding this to my tank for my corals...and will do it after the lights are out and the skimmer turns off(they turn off at the same time). Just wondering if my cannister and Milenium bio filter will "eat up" all the phytoplankton.

    DT size to fuge ?

    I am in the process of setting up a 18g refuge for my 30g DT. I have heard the size should be 20-30% of the DT for the refuge. Will this be too much? I guess it would be about 64% of my DT. Have about 15lbs LR and will be getting some macros for fuge. Not sure how deep a sand bed I want.

    I got some freeze dried krill and mysis shrimp, and was going to maybe get something else. Anyhow, should I just mix em up, and feed them the mix every day, or feed them krill one day, then mysis the other. Just seeing what others do. Also, any advice on some more foods I can add to this would...

    Dont fish sleep?

    My clowns always seem to be swimming around...never stop moving. At night they just kinda drift, but I thought they would settle down somewhere and take a nap...like my bi-color psuedchromis did when I had it. Do they need some kind of coral or anemone to sleep in....or could it be hermit crabs...

    How big...H2O pump and bulkhead ?

    I am going to set up a 18g refuge for my 30g...and need to know a good combo for a water pump and return line size. I dont want a lot of flow, since I will keep macros in the 18...but just enough to keep an efficient flow. Heres a drawing of what I want to do. The red line is water being fed...
