What about REALLY old skool and put an under gravel filter with crushed coral in there. LOL! Subscribed. I may go "low Tech" on the cube when I get back from Germany if this works out well.....

Not sure I could find one that fits but it would work great for this application....

Sounds like a fun project, a small tank with more money in stock then most peoples large displays, LOL...good luck.....you don't think over feeding a small tank like that might cause bad water swings?

I'll be monitoring it and adjusting accordingly if needed...

I think you will be pleasantly supprized by the growth in your Chalices!

Nice those are most of the time my favorite types of corals I don't know if its the joy of thinking "yep I saved that" or that they always keep surprising you lol, but if you have three I think there's a special place in my new lps tank for it lol
