Y-DesygnGuy: I would agree, I prefer the look of the RSM hood, however I do not think the new hood looks bad at all. Occasionally we must sacrifice some form for function. Of course in this case,...

For chat, I am much more inclined to use something that allows a standard IRC client, since I have IRC windows open all day anyway. Of course there are web interfaces to IRC as well.

Rue, you could always do the refugium. The mod to install it is not too difficult, though it will require you drop your sponge media, etc. Still, if you saw my before and after pictures in the big...

FWIW, the RSM is actually thicker glass than most of the other tanks this size. I am not so worried about using a mag float with the tank, just keep the sand out.

Anyone know what this might be below the xenia in the center of the picture? I assume some sort of macro, but I have not been able to locate it.

No, you really want the fish to ingest the garlic, it seeps through the skin similar to the way it does in people. Like I said before, you can use fresh garlic as well (organic) to "marinate" the...

Reefmack: Yeah smaller snails, cerith, nerites, etc. They get in between the input and the body, just enough to jam it and stop the rotation. Just takes a second to pop them out.
