GFO?

If I end up pulling the Fluval permanently then perhaps I can just do some water changes to keep up until things stabilize. The tank has a relatively light bio load.

If a simple hang on the back skimmer is the cause of this sort of situation - how do you fix it? Just try turning the flow rate down?

Birds Nest

Can this be done with power compact lighting? I have twin 36" fixtures (55x4) over my tank and I'm wondering if I could keep this coral or not. Are MH a requirement?

Thanks. I'll make sure to splash them or spray them down every 3-5 minutes to make sure they stay damp. It should only take me about 10-15 minutes to refill the tank.

Besides sooner or later coraline will start crowding it out and then your snails will have to go elsewhere for a meal.

Yeah he's my prize crab. Knowing now that he's relatively scarce in the trade I got him for a bargain price ($2.50). Bet I could ebay him for $25 or more. ;)
