No special care at all... medium light and medium to high flow. They don't eat anything (according to Eric Borneman).
Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks.
I use a Sony Cybershot DSC-P150. It's 7.2 megapixel pocket camera. It takes nice pictures, although I must be honest, I am looking to get a digital SLR, so I can actually focus, instead of letting the camera do it. My wife won't let me spend the 800+ that a good one will cost though.

It's my 70. The 29 morphed into the sump for my 70. I just run a EuroReef RS5-2 skimmer and have about 120+ pounds of LR and 75 pounds of LS in the display, plus 6 inch sandbed and about 10 pounds of LR rubble in my fuge. If you want to see more pictures visit my website and click the project 70 link. The gear link on there shows what I had on the 29.

Thought I would share with ya. I just got my first mushroom. Green Hairy (what it is suppose to be anyway).
I also got the two firefish that guy was trying to get rid of.
So now my tank is:
2 clowns
2 firefish (already swimming about)
1 tail spot blenny (still hiding)
cleaner crew
1 peppermint shrimp
I went to get some more Nass snails as my sand bed is just dirty looking and they guy told me to try a sand sifter star that he would clean it good. Well by the time I got him home 2 of his legs were off.
I called them and they are giving me a store credit, but I am going to see if he will survive. He is in the back of the tank. But he hasn't moved at all. He might be dead. Not sure. If he is still in the same spot in the morning I will remove him.
Below are pictures of the mushroom I got. However, my firefish seems to be a camera hog. He was all over me everywhere I went. He just had to be in the picture.

Cool, nice Rhodactis!
Sand sifter stars are notorious for dying in captivity, due to acclimation problems. They aren't really a good choice for "cleaning" your sand either, what they really do is eat all of the micro-fauna that you want in your sand, and when they are done, they starve to death.

Talking about this diagram?
I drew this up before actually installing the sump, it turned out to be backwards... lemme see if I can do a clearer one.
The main thing is, this is a reef ready tank, meaning it has a built in overflow, not a hang on the back, need to start a siphon, type overflow.
