Dsaundry,
Thanks for the reply! I like the look of a yellow tail blue damsel, but is there a nicer fish for that? (lol, just like asthetics, tis all)
I do like the idea of an anemone, except for the part of it killing other corals/fish and growing to large! I expect to keep it to soft corals, i don't very much like the look of hard corals

Now another question, i have looked at a bunch of different sites and i get totally mixed results, i have a HOB filter, should i get rid of it? Almost all say take out the biowheel (can cause bad things in the long run) and some say that just some filterfloss and carbon is good in it! Is this true?

Thanks

I like the looks of the damsel a lot and they stay relatively small, while I agree that the live rock is your best filter I don't agree 100% about the hob filter condemnation. I personally use a Cascade300{ebay}hob filter and use the filter iserts which come with carbon as well, I have a hob skimmer,{ebay again} and just basic pc lighting, the hob adds a little circulation along with 2 hydor nano's and the tank is doing great. 2 yrs+ and going strong. Take the bio wheel off your hob I would agree as well but its no worse than bio-balls imo. You will always get a wide variety of opinions in this hobby, the best advise I can give you is to take notes of what works and doesn't work as you proceed in this mad but wonderful hobby{obsession} and keep whatever works best for you.
