I was thinking the same about your so called plate coral tank, how about a bigger FTS?

A little bit but not a ton... from what I've read they should be able to live off of light with only occasional feeding as a treat.

I think it's looking good, Wes. Liking the theme a lot (as well as the stand... perhaps get a patent on it? Might be a hit in some modernist houses... just an idea, might fund this addiction one day (: ). Do your plates move around a bunch? I'm thinking of adding one to my 15, but not sure if I have the sand-room to accomodate one that's on the prowl.

I like it a lot! It's a cool fish.

He eats mysis shrimp like crazy

He's been sucking gutter guard twice and not released any toxins that I know of?? I've heard the rumor but don't know anyone who's actually had a tank nuked? and I kinda doubt lfs would bring them in if it ever happened to there tank.

And I had one die in my old tank

Thanks

He sure is. He eats Mysis.

Hopefully he's not stuck on the egg crate again when I get home but I did turn the flow down so I hoping he'll be ok.
