added a 2nd cleaner shrimp today. its 1/3 the size of the one i already have and they are always right next to each other. paid 9$ for the new shrimp
i might be getting a 3rd cleaner for 10$. does anyone see a problem with 3 cleaners in a 20 long?

armagedon48, is that a hermit in your avatar, or a mantis shrimp hidding under something that looks like a shell?

its a Hawaiian reef hermit (aka: zebra hermit at the store) that was slightly covered by my ricordia. i was taking pictures of the ricordia and noticed a cool picture of the hermit. that picture was taken in my 10 gallon tank before i had the 20 long setup.

today i got a hydor flo deflector to add to my maxi-jet 1200. i hid it behind the overflow (sorta, i need to adjust it later). i really like the flow its giving. i may need to make adjustments tomorrow and take some pictures.
im having trouble getting flow down to the bottom to keep stuff from settling. once a week i siphon it all out but i need to figure something else out. here is a flow mod i made on my aqua clear. click on the picture to get redirected to metacafe to view the video.

What is the SPS called in the picture above? Great job! And that light bulb for your refugium, what kind of bulb is it? I looked at homedepot for a bulb and I was looking for a 65k one, but none of the bulbs said 65k or any k's. All i saw was like 90w, 40w, 75w, etc.

I like it, it's really unique and different from most of the tanks we see around here. Did you ever do anything to address the possibility of the bottom cracking from the rocks?
Looks nice.

and thank you for saying my tank is different. i dont like all these biocubes and nanocubes floating around. they all look so much alike that you see one and you see them all. i forget what the acro is called, i think it had "orchid" in the name. i have to ask the person i bought it from again about the name. as for the bulbs, you have to look online and bring them the item number to order it. if they cant do that, then there are many sites online you can order from. my bulbs are nearly two years old, and dont seem to grow the chaeto anymore. they seem to grow cyanobacteria very well so i tossed my chaeto, cleaned my sump and turned off the lights. ill restart the refuge again when i get new lights.
