I don't think the tank has changed too much...but here's a unique view. This is what you get with a panarama close up with a wide angle lens.

You can see, I'm in the cyano stage....

I think you are better off with the two holes both being used as overflow. Run the return over the top. Do you know from experience if a single hole can take 100% of the flow you want?

This is the exact opposite of how my tanks are. It does look very nice, however...kind of like a beautiful painting, but better.

A still photo contributes to that look. If you saw that tank...

My old tank has become that without intention. Slowly, I've been in the process of shutting it down and moving things into the 400. As a result, it is now COWLR. Looks very nice...but it is kind...

That's really uncommon. Halimeda doesn't usually grow very quickly. It also "goes sexual" every now and then which usually keeps it's growth in check.

None of mine have ever been fussy. They've always like frozen krill. (thawed, of course)

You can also just ensure you have a good population of hermit crabs in there. That way, they'll have...

Yes, blastos like to eat. I feed mine cyclopeze, but they will take nearly anthing, including chunks of formula one, or shimp.

I don't feed that often, as they can survive on light alone.

If it is the coral eating type, you'll know because in order to eat coral they have to latch on and rasp the coral away. They remain there for hours, if not days. Once you see this behaviour, you...

Does it have a distinct "head" and "body"? A pistol shrimp will have a distinct "swimmer body" portion, just like a mantis, camel, peppermint, lobster, etc. etc.

Of course, a pistol would also...

Oh yes...it was also interesting to watch the Yellow Tang use his tail blades. I always wondered how the fish would actually use them to attack/defend.

He may have been..but it didn't work.

The Achilles is large. Maybe 6"? He's bigger than the Naso and the Yellow, but about the same size as the Trigger.

My system is...If I see a mantis, he's hungry. If he's completely out of his hiding spot and moving around the tank, then he's really hungry.
