New tank

[DanInSD]

I've been keeping Thumper, my 4.5" O. s., in a 20 gallon tank with a hang-on fuge, a small power filter, and a skimmer. The tank has uncontrolled algae problems despite weekly water changes. So, I'm in the process of upgrading.

I'm going to have a 30S (36x12x16) with the same skimmer, but with a 10 gallon fuge full of macroalgae (chaetomorpha and gracilaria) plus sand, mud, and rubble. What's cool is that in the new fuge, I'm going to be keeping... G. smithii! I found one at the LFS some time ago and decided the little guy would be perfect for the 10gal.

I'll post pics once I have everything together.

In the meanwhile, I'm wondering if the two beasties will smell each other?
