Needed some more bio-filtration. Added a CF Grow LED to my sump with some chaeto.

Thanks, I went to my LFS on Black Friday to see if I could pick up a cheap Lawnmower Blenny. Unfortunately they didn't have any in stock, but I did pick up a few coral frags for my tank. Here they are:

I've been hesitating on getting a conch because I find them kind of gross to look at, but I may have to get myself past that because they seem really good.

For the most part you just see their shells (which IMHO are just plain cool).

Anyways, did a review of the Caribsea Life Rock and comparing the advantages and disadvantages to Dry Rock and Live Rock:

Just noticed your username - In Flames fan?

Yup, I was listening to the album a lot when I first started using internet forums years back and I hated having my regular name plus 4-5 numbers afterwards like many folks had, it wasn't super common at the time, so I just adopted the album name as my alias and haven't had a problem since.

I've had a lot of newbies as of late asking about sumps, so here is a basic overview of mine:

Nice, I love the old school IF stuff as well. Started listening around when Jester Race came out.

Yeah, I rolled with the changes that they had until Come Clarity. They have been really hit and miss ever since (Mostly Miss). Colony was actually my first album. It was the first Album I have EVER bought based strictly on the Album Cover and wasn't disappointed. I had never heard of the band in any way shape or form until that point, but the Album cover kept drawing me back, I popped it in when I got home and as soon as Embody the Invisible came charging through my speakers I knew I found something special. It wasn't long after that that I picked up their previous albums.

Anyways, got some growth update on my Corals:

Thanks, got another update on my Melanurus Wrasse. The dorsal fin spot is shrinking and disappearing. Even since the last vid I would say it's probably half the size it used to be.
