New Fish Recommendation

[intenseimage]

would like to add another fish to my tank and am looking for some suggestions. I am running an OPEN TOP 24 gallon cube, 150w Sunpod with a 20k XM bulb, MJ1200 flare nozzle return, a MJ900 with a split return - half goes to a Hydor Rotating Return and the other half through a Phosban Reactor. Skimming is done via a modded CPR skimmer -- a mesh scrubber pad was cut into pie shaped pieces and glued between the paddles of the impeller -- this thing is a CHAMP now. Made me put off upgrading to a MCE600

Current livestock:

1 Perc.
1 Oce.
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Japanese Pistol Shrimp
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Emerald Crab
Snails

Next time I take apart the pump ill be glad to.

If you have seen any of the mesh-wheel threads ... you can get a basic idea.

They took 3M pads commonly found in Home Depot (some used other materials) and cut a disk to replace the impeller of the pump. I however didnt want to cut up/off the stock impeller piece and have a non-working pump should this not work as planned.

So we simply cut a circle the size of the impeller and then just but it into pie slices. Took each slice (trimmed it down a tad to fit) and SuperGlue Gel'd them in between the paddles of the impeller.
