    Aloha everybody!
    I just finished puting my CPR in tank refugium together. I put in some tang red, yellow, and green macro algae and a good load of copepods. Got everything from ipsf.com also got hermit homes but they were all too small of shells for my crabs. To light up the fuge, i went with the jbj nano-glo and glued aquarium background on one side to black it out a bit. Anyway heres some pics from my iphone. Let me know what you think.

    Let us know what you think of the marineland, I have the reef capable on my 29 gallon right now, and things are growing, not like metal halides mind you, but the corals are growing. I have a H.O.B fuge/skimmer that is working wonderfully!

    looks like a decent setup for the size tank you have.
    My only suggestion would be to check out john at reefcleaners.org -you'll be very hard pressed to beat his customer service, prices, and multiple freebee's found in every order

    Ya, that may be a better light for the Zoas, the reef capable doesn't seem to growing Zoas at the pace I would like. I have read that LED's aren't that great for Zoa's growth, but we will see.

    Looks good, just remember to remove some of the macro once in a while, don't want the bottom to die off and release crap into the tank.
