    I point my powerheads at the surface, towards the direction of the overflow. That way all the surface skim will go down to the sump to be skimmed. If you don't have a sump just point them towards the skimmer.

    Looks like I am missing a small feather duster this morning. Don't know if it was the Korila Nano or if it moved. It was loose off the rocks to begin with.

    It's possible it could be either...can't really say which. Just keep a look out, I guess.

    Can we get a picture off the tank with just the par30 light on without the actinics?

    I will get a picture up later today. There is no real difference with the actinics off. It just gives a bit of a highlight where shadows are from the Par30.

    I'm not too worried about the duster missing. It came with the rock and I still have the bigger one that's hiding out in his cave.
