Good looking tank!! And super videos. Where on the tank do you have you powerheads mounted? Looks like on the rim. Also do you leave them on 24/7 or do they cycle on and off?

Thanks! :D They are both on the left side. I leave them on 24/7. Here is a picture. The 2 powerheads are circled in red on the left and the return in also circled in red.
 
Why keep them on the same side... and when my skimmer broke the amount of algae i had exploded...what do you do to keep it all down

Because, it looks better with them on one side and its perfect flow with both on one side. Lots of rock, sand, and a big fuge.

That's incredible that you keep that kind of clarity skimmerless, amazing. Yes, I was referring to your fish list; you seem to have a very nice blend of sizes and personalities.

Elephantang? Don't you have a pic of that fish?
Going skimmerless isn't that bad, as long as you have enough live rock and a nice sized refugium.

I feed mine home made fish food. Try feeding yours some chopped up shrimp, scallops, krill, mysis, ect.
