Thanks for the reply, Lance! I do plan on returning the damsel to the LFS before putting any more fish in my tank. I appreciate the info on the blenny. That one's off the list now.

I've started a new tank (my first in way too many years) and I'm having a blast with it. First I'll give the specs: 46 gallon bow-front 84 watts of T-5 lighting (42 10K, 42 actinic) - I intend to add one more 42-watt T-5 fixture which will bring the total up to 126 watts 65 pounds of rock...

I've been perusing the Melev's Reef site, and it's great! Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the encouragement and advice, Tjara!

I REALLY appreciate the comments. Please keep them coming! On the subject of LR -- with liverocks.com being temporarily out of commission, what other good sources, either online or local to the Detroit/Warren, MI area, can you recommend?

I'm gearing up to start a 35-gallon FOWLR tank. As it's my first endeavor into SW, I asked the guy at my local LFS (who specialize in SW) a few questions. Well, his answers didn't strike me as the most insightful, and I'd like to compare notes with you guys. He was strongly of the opinion that...
