A Scopas AND Regal Tang in a 46G........

Aquaria, your tank is looking good and healthy so far.. Can you fill the tank more? That would eliminate the microbubbles from the Skimmer probably. As for your question about the sponge, they are usually a good thing to see.

Beneficial filtration.

Well my new shrimp is going, he swimming weird and out on the open sitting on a hermit at one point so I'm thinking he wants to be a meal. and I got major algea issues so I think I may be over feeding perms were normal, although I have had a nitrate spike .5 and phosphat at 0.25 yesterday I'll so tests right now and post tommorow. And next shrimp will be done drip method lol.
