Thanks! :thumbsup:
That was my goal to make it look just like a tree, also something to keep the GSP from spreading like crazy in my tank :lol2:

How long have those fish been together? Those green spot puffers are notorious for fin nipping and suddenly freaking out and killing everything in the tank.

Well it's a long story with Green Spotted Puffers.......
They were actually our first brackish water/saltwater fishes, bought them at Walmart over a year ago, when I didn't know anything about them, just fell in love with these cute fishes so I let myself listen to the person in charge of the fishes in Walmart where they said there good in small tanks and just add a little bit of salt and so on :headwally: . Once I got home with them I started to search and read about them and of course learned that everything the person said in Walmart was wrong :angryfire:. So I just continued to read and learn more about them because I wasn't going to take them back and let them die in Walmart.
I started them in a 10g tank and over a period of time I converted them into completely saltwater. Once I finished setting up the 55g I transfered them there, they were really shy and hiding a lot in the new tank until I got the Flame Angel and now they are out and about and very happy to finally have a lot more space, they have been together for a little over a month and they get along just fine so far. They have not shown any type of aggressive behavior towards the Flame Angel, actually I think they are afraid of her, lol. They never touch the coral either.

That sounds so familiar.
I've got one in a 37 gallon tank and she attacks anything that goes in the tank. This includes siphon tube, tongs, toothbrush, anything. So far I have been lucky that she leaves me alone. The only thing I've found that she won't eat is kenya tree.

I love the idea behind this and might try it on my next build. I know people use to recommend 1 to 1.5 lbs per gallon. Any problem with beneficial bacteria when using so little?
What are those bright pink fish??? They are gorgeous!

You could get a ticket!!
most people put additional rock in their sump. I have maybe 15lbs or so in my sump, in addition to what I have in the display.
how many of those with very little liverock in this thread support their bacterial life with carbon sources? i do that, i have little bit more liverock in the sump than in the display. for those, does it work out for you, do you think this enables you to have a higher bioload in a tank with that little rock?

Should i re-aquscape mine ? that big rock on the right side seems to be too big.
....
You could do two big pillars like on my tank and put the extra rock in the sump.
