pretty basic set up. about 25 pounds of Fiji LR. 10g sump with an ASM Mini G skimmer. i have a phosphate reactor and run Phosban, although i will eventually switch over to PHOSaR. i also run carbon in a media bag located in the sump.

lots of flow. i have a Mag 5 for my return, two MJ 1200s in the display and a MiniJet 404 which keeps the back of the tank pretty clean.

right now i am using a Reeflux 12k, although my magnetic ballast burns the bulb a little whiter than i prefer.

thanks for all the compliments!!!!

the hydno was much bigger a few months ago. about the size of a baseball but the stress of converting from a SB to BB caused it to STN so i ended up fragging the tips.

interestingly enough for the first time the other day i noticed the hydno trap some food with it's polyps and it looked like it ate it. i started observing the hydno very carefully and it seems to have little "mouths" inbetween the rows of polyps. does anyone know if hydnophora's eat food like this or am i seeing things?????

great looking tank, and very clean. i just recently changed my tank to bare bottom for just that reason.

very easy to make. just some egg crate, super glue gel and some silicone (which is not necessary). took about 15 minutes
