Also added some "reef bugs" last night, I've used this product in another smaller tank that had new sand and no rock, a week later I had all kinds of little critters crawling around that tank...

Still a little cloudy after mucking about with some live rock but she's wet....

...and looks good in the moonlight

I bought the "Reef Bugs" from Aquarium Illusions in Edmonton quite some time ago.

My wife says "What do we need another one of those for...", I just quietly hush her while gently placing my finger to her lips and reply "Sometimes it's not about Need".....

Not that I don't love the Skimz SM161, It's just that I wanted to try a BK and see if they are all they are hyped up to be, so far very simple design and extremely sturdy construction...but I may get a Bubble Blaster 5000 pump to keep on stand by just in case.... Any one know where I can get one?
