Hi bro, your chaeto's holder seems to be powder-coated. Its better to get a plastic material instead for long run.

BTW nice setup. Clean looking , i had similar setup like yours when i first started on my study table. Upgraded twice and finally a 4 feet. Enjoy your journey

Used this Sand

Only posted it now as I was trying to go thru my items..

Just did a 10% water change today and 5% water change yesterday.. Maybe one more in two to three days time before I add in clean up crew.. Hopefully no2 level would have dropped..

What clean up crew will be good thinking abt 2 to 3 snails and a hermit if it is reef safe..

What is good for sand clearing and algae too? Goby? I think if I put snails, the hermit will kill them off... So put a fish instead..
