    I would but I don't have the space for one under my tank and there's a concrete wall behind it so no drilling.

    I'm going to buy chaeto maybe tomorrow and maybe put just chaeto over one and live rock in the other. Not sure. I put my old ten gallon light over it and it fit well.

    So I have decided to make a tank for the sump. There are no standard tanks that are made anymore that will fit my width. I made a build about it if anyone here has some ideas about what I need to do or just want to follow along :) I am selling some frags and my clown on saturday so I expect to make a few bucks. I decided to sell my clown because of the nipping problems. I know I'm probably being a baby about it but he almost killed my kryptonite candy because of it lol. Any ideas what I could put in instead?

    Awesome! I'd get a clown pair... It seems that the ones kept alone are the ones that nip. If it has a buddy the aggression will stay between them(in a good way).

    I was thinking something other than clowns. I'll have 2 fish in it, a scooter blenny and a bangaii cardinal. I have inverts also, the main one is a fire shrimp.

    Hmmm. Angelfish? Keep em well fed and it shouldn't be a problem.

    I really would like a Pygmy red angel, but I heard there are problems with them. I do like them though.

    It's a 50/50 chance. I started a thread about angelfish in reef tanks a while back that might help.
