I'm using dry rock, which is a bit like adding a phosphate bomb to the tank. I'm expecting an abundance of GHA. Also, while ceriths are great snails, they aren't really voracious eaters and are kind...

Ah. That explains a lot, doesn't it! It makes sense now, as the weight of the rock seemed to be far too high to squeeze into a tank that size. I'm glad you took the time to meet with him in person...

Oh, I'll ask about how the volume discounts work, too: if the price breaks on CUC would be for the individual person or for the order as a whole.

I've actually ordered some synthetic rock for this fish only system, so there may not be as much algae as I was expecting.

I may start browsing for a Flame Angel this weekend. We'll see. :)
