Basically this is where my tank is at since you've last seen on my SH TANK post.

A threw a little caulerpa in the tank which has now become alot of caulerpa lol! Added a Chromis and a Red Lip Blenny, aswell as various snails and a brittle starfish.

I have a few shots of the tank in its current state! Got some hair algae I have to deal with lol!

He is still timid around me but when im looking from afar the little red lip blenny will dart around the tank picking at the rock and algae! GOOD BOY! lol:)

You can see his little head poking out of the rock, almost looks like he is touching the top of the caulerpa infront of him!

Notice your running a Eheim.. for circulation or filtration??

I'm only asking because I'm starting my 1st FOWLR tank this xmas holiday, and have 2 Eheim filters and 2 fuval 404's.. probably better to sell 'em than use 'em hu? =)

I wouldn't prefer to run an ehiem, I think Sump/Trickle system + Refugium and a skimmer works best!
