Oh ok - I didn't realize you didn't have a skimmer. Yeah get the skimmer first. That might be good enough. Definitely don't run pellets until after the skimmer though - they shed a mulm which can be taken up by some things but not all of it would get consumed and thus they'd just break down and re-release the NO3/PO4 back into the water ... which can't be good.

Well I can't sleep so I have a few pic's from a week ago, before I added this massive frogspawn
So my LPS craze is coming to a closure... I miss SPS.... ALOT! So this weekend the trial will start. Plan on adding a stag or some acropora of some sort to see how it deals with my system. If all goes will I will be parting with the torch and the hammer as they are taking up perfect SPS territory. but here are some pic's from lately    And If you noticed in my FTS, an impulse buy exsist's. Last Friday I had this great idea to buy a lionfish. Well without reading up on the species I brought him home only to find out how large he gets. Yep he may be ok in the system now but for sure will need a larger home in the future. Got it eating krill but tonight is the last of him in the tank. Poor guy, I really like him but I just can't give him the proper home.

Lorenzo, I believe you can get dwarf lionfish (some with the similar colour and pattern as the Volitan) that will do nicely in a well skimmed (messy eaters) 25g.
Fu Manchus and Radiata, though you might want to confirm this with another source.

Fu Manchu's are the shizzy! They don't get too big at all.

yep picked him up at RC. Love the guy and I have been thinking about a Fu Manchus but I might hold off and stick with the reef safe stuff. I am more into the coral anyways, the fish just entertain me

Ohhh Benji's. I love mine, its the most depressed looking fish I have. Reminds me of a sad clown. Loves mysis shrimp, and will just sit there and look at flakes float by.. and be like really.. you want me to eat that, when the shrimp comes out, he is the tank bully pushing everyone out of the way for his fill.
