Thanks for the response

I do think the flame is now off the list. I do have a lot of LR so the swimming space isnt huge for a fish like that imo. I would like to add a pistol shrimp at some point but it could survive on its own if they never paird up right? Also my sand bed goes from 1-3 inches is that enough for the pistol to burrow? I do have a refugium in the sump with cheato but I do wonder if my pump kills the pods on the way back to the tank.
