Thanks. The bubble curtain on the back wall always looks awful in pictures but it's quite nice in real life.

Yup, I noticed the same thing - the water is clearer in my butterfly tank with the UV than it is in the reef tank. I really think that a slow flow is the trick with a UV. If the water passes...

I haven't seen a pod go through it. Mine is a 40w LifeGard unit powered by a Magnum 350 canister filter which draws water from an overflow. Because the pods live in the sand and rock they don't...

Dave and Specialk - those are beautiful volitans. So how old/large should a juvie be before you start feeding every other day? My Leo is about 4" and growing fast. I suspect he'll reach full size...

Would you recommend a volitans lionfish as a good tankmate for a cowfish or boxfish?

I admire you for choosing not to keep this type of fish rather than doing it anyway and allowing the fish to suffer. I wish everyone in this hobby had your reefkeeping ethics.

Idols also have very high oxygen requirements. A big high quality skimmer can really help with this. They also do a LOT better in a tank with very high circulation.

You could save yourself a lot of money by not making it 36" high. Lights to reach taht kind of depth would be more expensive. It's also a pain to do maintenance on a deep tank.

I've yet to see any spawn or eggs but I think they're releasing it behind the rocks and the circulation is so high in this tank I don't think I would see it anyway.
