I think it was locked because the responses were mostly off topic. anyway here comes the mother load
set up is as simple as it gets: about 35lb of liverock (with about 5-10 coming from rock that corals were on), seaclone 100 skimmer (yes it works for me), crush coral substrate (yes my nitrates always test at zero), one 270GPH powerhead and two supplemental 104 GPH minijet powerheads, skilter 250 with skimmer off (just used for circulation and occasional carbon holding device). lighting 96w 10K/96w actinic pc. Clean up crew consist of 18 small hermits, 8 astrea snails, a few peppermint shrimp and one fire shrimp.

thanks but believe me algae "dust" accumulates on the glass in a matter of days so I run a net across the front and side glass every other day. Fortunately I havent had any problem with algae on the rocks or substrates. I do have this Halimeda thats really starting to grow tall out the mushroom rock. From what I read it needs to be rooted so it wont grow any and everywhere like other macro algae
