    For those who don't use socks, you can hang a HOB on the front of the sump and place the end of the hose behind the filter pad. ;)

    Phosphate Conundrum.

    Hermit Anemones Safe for a tank???

    Agreed, a smaller hermit would most likely ditch the shell and nem. OTOH, I don't think the nem would be any more hazardous than a BTA, LTA, etc.
