Jacqueline's Reef 290 Build

[Reeferhead]

Man, that’s really nice work Dave! Very clean.

Everyone has their own opinions and experience with regards to CUCs. You got to go with what works for you. I prefer diversity, many snails and crabs are specialists or prefer one type of algae or forage over another. I try to get a few of as many different types as possible and let nature figure out who's going to prevail in my tank. I’d like to defend hermits for a sec. As opposed to snails, they can more easily adapt and don’t die off when their forage of choice is used up. They can’t clean glass but who really care because I can

Your place in Aruba looks awesome! I hope you had a nice break

I have to say you make a lot of sense, when it comes to diversity, nature decides whats best, so I threw in the few hermits I had left in the nano when I took it down.

The new home and some new tank mates:fish2:

Thanks Nook, It is nice to have something to look at. After the sand settles I am going to add a couple of yellow clowns, a sailfin desjardini tang, blond nasa and maybe one other tang. :fish1::fish2::fish1:
