Thanks! Well, that does sounds quite expensive to me. However, I live in Florida so I might have better access to the corals than you do. I actually only paid $40 for my octo-frogspawn. They wanted $55, but I'm a loyal customer to the store I bought it from and I haggled with them. lol

I bought mine already at a decent size. It has 4 large heads and one small head. I've had it for about 2 months now and I have definitely seen growth. I target feed mine twice a week with a turkey baster. Some say you shouldn't have to target feed, but it's been working for me. I also only have...

Octo Frogspawn. :)

I also have a 29g biocube. If you have the biocube uv sterilizer it goes in the 3rd chamber attached to the return pump and out put nozzle.

Has anyone had any experience with modding the output on their Biocube with the Loc-line Y fitting? I've read limited posts in other forums about doing this mod, but I was wondering if anyone else here had attempted it. I've already upgraded the pump to a mj1200 so I know it will have enough...

A mixture of both.

I target feed once a week w/a turkey baster. I've read about the sweeper tentacles coming out at night too, but I can't remember if that pertained to torches or frogspawns. Either way I have both a torch coral and 2 frogspawns and all 3 of them close up at night. lol

Hmmm well I'm not sure why you're experiencing diatoms. How old is your tank? Are you experiencing any dead spots in the tank?

Nice. Something I will definitely keep in mind.

My octo-frogspawn has 5 heads on it. They can get big! :)

No protein skimmer yet. How often are you doing your water changes and how much are changing? What kind of water are you using? Are you having a problem w/diatoms or just detritus accumulating on the sand bed?

Oh wait, do you have a bio cube or something else? Either way, they are all essentially the same.

I have the same tank you do. I just don't have an extra power head in there. I have found that with upgrading my pump and having my rocks in the center of the tank I have a really good circular flow. I only have a small dead spot on the sand underneath the output nozzle and a lil bit in the...

What's in the first chamber? Also, I see you have a protein skimmer in the second chamber...what's next to it? What protein skimmer do you use?

I do weekly water changes, but everything else is credited to my sea cucumber, sand sifting starfish and my fighting conch. I left enough room so they can get all the way around my tank.
