I currently have 3 mesh socks in there... course, fine, course. The course sock doesn't plug at all and water slowly trickles across the plate into the middle (fine) sock and that will become clogged in a day or not quite. So far very easy to maintain and having the course sock first isn't a problem for microbubbles all of a sudden. I never could sort out why I had bubbles in my siphon feed in the first place. I recently fiddled with the valve to my skimmer and I must have tightened it and stopped the air leak lol.

3 new additions:

- A pair of 4-stripe damsels (later noticed one is a 3-stripe lol)
- Matted filefish

All 3 may end up being mistakes but I love'em for now!

They are a cool looking fish but very mean & very fast.
I had a 4 stripe damsel back in the day, never been so happy to see a fish eventually die. It got to be about 2.5 inches around and bit me every time I put my hand within 18 inches of his hang out.
That said, fish are hit & miss so maybe yours will be model citizens.

I have two File Fish, both don't eat aptaisia. To be fair one of them has only been in the tank over the weekend.

I'm thinking about throwing some water and aptasia covered rock in a 20 gallon to coax them to eat then move them back to the display.
