    Very good! Pretty active and full of personality. He doesn't do much in the way of prepared food though. He will occasionally nip at mysis but that's about it, so I would make sure you have enough algae in the tank to sustain one.

    I did! I went out on Saturday and got a couple of different of kinds of those telescopic rod multi-tools from PetCo. They actually work fairly well, and have made my life a lot easier!
    I kinda spread the chaeto out a little bit. Its tough to say if its grown much yet. I have ulva, halimedia, mermaid fan, and shaving brush on the way also for later this week, along with a few corals and some other livestock.

    The firefish shot looks really neat with that background.

    Are you running the lights on the refuge just for the pics or are you leaving it on the same schedule for now? I think I've asked that before - don't remember for sure.

    If you are running it on reverse schedule - do you cover the tank at all to keep the room darker when you sleep? (You do sleep in this room, don't you?)
