    Keep an eye on the Diver's Den at liveaquaria.com they have some cool inverts come through there although with a refugium that clean you might have some trouble keeping them alive too, that's cleaner than most people's DT.
    I'm sure it'll dirty up quick though. :)

    I have tons of Scypha in my overflows, this seems to be the only place they want to grow (no light, lots of flow). They must have showed up on live rock that seeded the tank.

    your LFS can probally order a blue/yellow/red ball sponge for you lots of suppliers have them. I had a blue and a red in my fuge before it cracked, and i setup a sump one. the one thing about sponges in your fuge is they need some flow so you need like a nano sized powerhead. or to put them right next to the inflow

    I'll have to do that. So far everything seems fine. I should have tested my water parems before starting the fuge, but I was to excited to get it running. O well, I have been thinking about purposely putting GHA in my fuge. What does everyone think of that idea?

    Hey xmetal, check that, the barnacles were on ebay last night. The guy just put up mussle colonies too. Both were "dirt cheap" also.
