I would go for the mini reef as well girly.

my tail spot is really quite active so i'd have to agree. i'm not sure he'd be *as* active if there wasn't always a cat batting at the glass which he seems to love lol.

maybe a trio of trimmas?

I really like the mini reef idea.
I agree, a Tailspot is way too active for such a small tank. Mine was constantly going in my 8'. I like lastlights trio of Trimma's idea.

Ya I think a mini reef would be cooler to look at. I have a bunch of trimmas in my 34g cube so I think a barnacle blenny and a flaming prawn goby would be better.

On friday I had to take out all the rock in order to remove the maxi minis, here's a pic of the rock dumped back in



After fiddling with the rock for a bit, I believe I got it back to the way it was. The water is a bit cloudy in this pic due to moving everything around, but it cleared up by the next day.

On Sat. I went to big als to buy a replacement pump for the tank. Needless to say the hydro pico 200 pumps suck! The 1st one lasted for 2 months before it died, and the last one I bought, lasted 3 months before it started to make funny sounds and started to die, cleaning it did not help, oddly made it worse

New and much improved (so far) pump



I also went to Blue world and picked up a nassarius snail, rhodactis mushroom and small zoa frag. Then I went to Neal's (Marine Experience) and picked up 2 good sized zoa frags, a campfire monti frag and a florescent yellow/green monti.

Waiting for everything to settle in and open up, then I'll take and post pic's
