Hey digitalsteve, I read that you replace your substate awhile ago because the sand was too fine and blew around? If you used a crushed coral type of substate, (red sea marine base) it has been my experience that it traps detrius quite a bit. I had it in for about 6 months before I yanked it out of my 20. I know stores use this because of easy maintainance but they vacumn it regularly. I don't know if you have this substrate, but in a small reef tank even small amounts of detrius rotting down there can cause all sorts of headaches.
EDIT***** Just noticed the date on the substrate change. Sounds like you had a little cycle when you moved everything around. Sorry should have seen the date when I read the post. me bad!!
