heres the naso

[triggered]

We don't know how long this person has been in this hobby. The tank is new and the hobbyist is asking for advise and information. My taste is different than anyone elses. What is nice looking to one, may not be to another. I don't like to post negative stuff.

I like to make positive statements and encourage people. I think it needs more as well, not only for the asthetic reason, but also because of the fishes needs....Peace

CDubbs, You may want to consider removing the equipment you have in the main tank. I saw the heater in there, it has been said that the fishes will gnaw through the cords My man has seen it happen also. We have all of our equipment in our sump. Just a suggestion.........Peace

yeah i know its kinda plain but like i said before i want more swimming room, i am going to get some more rock this weekend and try and make a cave in each back corner of the tank, but besides LR what else should i get? maybe some big piece of dead coral? And i cant fit the heater in the sump, the water level is too low for it to put upright and i dont know if it will fit flat on the bottom. Any suggestions. thanks

get reef rock...its half the price of live rock...

take all the live rock you have in the tank and make one giant cave in a corner, and depending on the size of your sump, place all the rest of the rock in there. the heater looks like glass, so i would not put into the sump, unless you knew it was not going to break. a heater with a hard plastic cover would work, i have mine on the return side of the sump lying down, the rock i have in the sump brings your water level up a little more. i would put the good pieces of rock in the tank, and cheep pieces in the sump. i had to break a few to fit but the sump is packed with it,instead of the bioballs. hope this helps

In time, you will probably find that the naso may "pace" the tank, which gets extremely depressing. Even at the LFS I was at, they would do this (in around 135s).
