    Replace the canaster with a refugium, about 50-75* more LR, and raise the SG to 1.024-1.026.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

Can't go wrong with a clown in a reef tank. I've completely given up on using hermit crabs as part of the clean up crew. They kill each other and snails way too frequently. I'm sticking to snails and shrimp from now on.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#After that, go for the lighting and get started on the anenomes and easy corals.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
