The Kole will be impossible to catch. I may be able to get the Blenny at feeding. Maybe put it in my smaller tank

Mine came with a thin black foam pad that goes between the tank an stand that take care of any gaps like you’re describing. It was a rectangle the entire size of the top of the stand.Did you have any issues with your stand when you first set it up? I just assembled mine and the tank doesn't sit level. I can easily slide a business card under one of the corners between the bottom of the tank and pad.
The document from JBJ is incorrect at least for my version. The usable width of the sump is about 4.5 inches. There’s “three” chambers about 8.5 inches long. The two on the outside are further divided below the water level into two 3.5 inch chamber. The picture below will show it better. I’m using the first chamber for my ATO, second for the heater, third has the pumps, and the last one has my skimmer output and input.Can you post some shots of the rear sump. Trying to get an idea of what will work, I get my 65 next week. Thanks
Tank looks like it is doing great!No corals lost and getting decent growth. The branching montipora has become much thicker. Doing 9-10 gallon water changes weekly.
Two kinds of hitchhiking sponge. It’s spreading under the rock but doesn’t seem to want to be on top. Hopefully it doesn’t interfere with coral growth.
it’s an encrusting type vs a ball or tube type that people typically think of. These varieties were in my old tank too. I’m sure they came over from some rocks I transplanted in this tank. These don’t appear to be problematic. I had a beautiful encrusting purple variety that liked the tops of rocks but it became a pest quickly as it grew and competed with corals for space. Glad it’s gone. Apparently, some or all have toxins that may impede coral growth but I have noticed anything detrimental. My coral grows at what I would consider normal rates.That is some wild looking sponge! Maybe I just haven’t seen sponges before
