What to put where..so many critters!

Well, I'm getting my 29 gallon Biocube slowly populated: so far, so good except for a near-death situation with my blennies jumping into the back part of the tank where the filter are: barely rescued them :scared: ! My LAS store hooked me up with some foam to put as a barrier back there: if you haven't done this already, do it soon!I bought some zoa frags: any advice on tank level to place these: advice from the seller was to put them lower in the tank, but I assume that would be in a normal, bigger tank with bigger lights?! I've got:Sumatra perc, coral beauty angel, sand-sifter blenny, lawnmower, coral-banded shrimp, brain coral, leather coral, and frogspawn.All the water parameters are great. Will try to post a picture if I can figure out how to transfer it in from Easyshare site....

You might have a problem with the sand sifter blenny since your tank is new right? They eat a lot of copepods. Your tank probably needs to be more mature. Try to see if you can feed it mysis.

Thanks for the advice: I wish LAS would be that honest...my lawnmower is giving him a lot of grief too:may have to return him.

My zoa's are pretty low in my tank and doing well. Your angel may pick on your softies its not uncommon for that to happen. I too have the 29 Bio Cube, and even though you have limits to what corals you do get most of the ones you can have with PC's on that tank can go pretty much anywhere. I did put my Xenia's up top because I heard they can be tempermental, but they are doing great as well as everyone else. If you see them not doing well move them, most of the time the first place you put your corals is not the last.
