    I set up the 14 gallon underneath the stand with the extra equipment from the 29 gallon. Right now it is just another tank since I don't have the stuff to plumb the two together, but I wanted some place to put the nem that I don't want until I find a new owner for it. I also wanted to put some of the substrate from the 29 in there to keep some more of the pods and my wife doesn't like all the keyee trees lol.

    What is a good algae grazer for GHA for a 40 gallon breeder? I know tangs are good, but my tank is just too small. It would be nice if they would eat bubble algae as well like yellow tangs do.

    Do emerald crabs eat GHA?

    Great point! I guess I should've used Google first lol. This is almost the 1st thing that popped up:

    http://www.3reef.com/forums/algae/what-eats-green-hair-algae-60007.html

    Imagine that, a 3reef thread. It says that emerald crabs will tear it up. So I am down to one, he should be busy for awhile lol. ;D

    I would still like to find a fish that would not out grow my system that could keep algae in check like a tang does. :confused:
