    What are some the little things about your tank that you would have done differently.

    A few things for me:
    1. Use multiple thermometers. hehe
    2. Not bought a scallop.
    3. Place my Xenia, GSP , Zoas on their own rock that would be easier to control where they grow. (or smooth rock for GSP so it would be easier to scrape as it grows)
    4. Bought a finer oolite sand vs. my course/fine mix of aragonite. ( and I think I would have went with a thinner sandbed.
    5. Vacuum the sand from the beginning.
    6. not bought an arrow crab.
    7. Built some sort of manifold to tap line for reactors ect.

    From the beginning, that was a whole lot of years ago (hell, I had hair then) - I suppose I would have done it the way it stands now ! LOL

    Looking back I suppose it would have went smoother had I didn't begin dealing with a LFS.
