Don't tempt me! If I knew I could get away with it, I'd have 10 tangs, 10 angels, and all the small gobies in every crevice! :D

But I don't live in China, so the physics of it won't work :shock:

Ok so got my sump set up
I had to find the best way to move my 2 part sump out of the way without draining all the water (just in case I did not make enough new saltwater for the new sump). Here's the old setup:
And voila! One 60g tub for all my sumping needs! To the right of the sump is a hole I can use as an emergency drain. I have to order a bulkhead for it, so for now, it's just closed, and I hope I don't get a flood!!
I had to use these plastic mesh things to act as a divider, so hopefully by the time the microbubbles hit it, it will rise up and not enter the return pump.
And as the picture says, I have one of the intake pipes dumping directly under the chaeto, so I no longer need a powerhead to keep it churning.

How's your skimmer working Wonton? I'm thinking about picking up the 2000 model next week.

Skimmer's skimming :D No problems whatsoever! They say adjustment period is usually around 3-4 weeks, but it only took a week for me. Definitely needs to sit in 6-10" of water.

The new setup looks good Wonton!

Thanks, rb :) Once I changed out the sump to the 1-piece version, I was really much happier with it because it gave me plenty of room to do whatever I need to do. It's overkill, but works for me ;)

Ok, so poor rocky the lawnmower blenny has gotten skinny! Link the kole tang doesn't like bladder-less fish, apparently LOL (he bullied my diamond watchman, but left the smaller 6-line wrass alone -- in fact, he swims with the small 6-line!). So, rather than fishing Rocky out, I took leftover stuff from around the work room, and made him a feeding box! After 1 day, he's learned to go in and feed in there without worrying about Link bothering him...in fact, I could swear he taunts the other large fish :)

Buster (foxface), Rose (coral beauty), and Link all hovering and picking at the box

Thanks, Brian....he seems to be loving it. He's not really a timid fish. He's not stupid -- he knows Link will rip him a new one if he doesn't hide, but he still risks the open swim up to the clip to get a few nibbles in. And with this box, he's so comfortable that he jumps in it before I even get my hands out of the water from putting the box down! He's just chillin' while Link hovers around, trying to get in Hehehe.
