damn your tank is nice! i have a ten gallon. i really like your rocks and how the color matches your sand.... or is it crushed coral? whatever it is it looks great!

Arsen 36....so how do you go about makeing a filter into a refug? I have a ten as well and i think it could use more filtration, i am tired of doing one to two water changes a week.
I think I should get more rock, because i only have 10lbs...I am just nervose to do that because my last tank the bottom fell out....total disaster,
but somehow only lost a jawfish and hermits and snails.
Nice tank thou, i like the rock set up, i gotta redo mine somehow, it isnt working too well. :happyfish

look on page 2 of the nano tread and find "Attention arsen 36" Its a link that explains how to do it, also you can search for "HOB refuge" on this site

Thats a spotted Hawkfish. I just picked one up last week at my LFS. He is awesome. He follows me around the tank like a dog or cat.
