Let me join with those in congratulations for TOTM. It is truely deserved. Your tank is an inspiration.

I used a designer Calvin Kline brush on blue on my first tank (75 gal). I liked the look and it appeared to give the tank more depth. On my second, and subsequent tanks, I went with the basic Krylon flat black spray paint. I prefer the black. It looks less natural but the colors do stand out...

I use foam under my rimless tanks. From what I have read, it is mostly recommended for rimless tanks. I was able to get a good size sheet of Garden Mat from ADA which is a 1/4 thich black rubber foam. It worked great for me. other posts have suggested I think it was a type of foam insulation...

In a 25 gal tank with mostly LPS and zoas, with regular water changes, you could get away without a skimmer. Or you might put the skimmer on a timer to turn off at bed time. Just a couple thoughts.

I used Berghia in my 75 gal but did not have much luck with them. I added them to the tank and never saw them again or saw any effect on the aiptasia. And I had a load of aiptasia for them to eat. I have had good luck with pepermint shrimp but with peps it is hit or miss. I agree with...

I'm setting up a tank for a Yasha shrimp goby pair and a shrimp. How deep should the sandbed be?

IME wrasses tend hide when first introduced. Poking at it when it is trying to hide is not going to get it out any quicker. Leave it alone and it should come out on its own.

I leave mine in. The only time I take it out is when it floats away and attaches to the magnetic Tunze pump holder.
