Maybe this? http://www.chucksaddiction.com/coral_crabs-6.html

You can have one chromis. There are alot of flashy swimmers that are peaceful. Might want to check out wrasses. What's flashier than a flasher wrasse :D Only problem with wrasses is they like to jump. So you would want to make a screen for the top of your tank. It's cheap and easy to make...

Chromis school in the wild, not so much in the home tank. They will school for awhile, it's a safety reflex, but when things start settling they stop, they try and set up a pecking order. Alot of people say that they will peck until there are only 1 or 2 left. I only have 1 blue green chromis...

Peaceful with other fish. It's lord of the flies with their own kind.

They don't need to be in pairs, but some fish are aggressive to their own species. Like two males might fight. So getting male/female gives you a better chance at little/no aggression. It can be hard to get male and female of the same species though. When I started my new tank, I was always...

The things you need to worry about when stocking is, food in, food out, aggression, and space. If you stock too much you will have too much pollution. If you have territorial fish, you need to provide territories so they (hopefully) don't fight. If you have fish that like to swim a lot, your...

It says peaceful not aggressive :)

"Can you guys think of anything potentially harmful in a tank that is shrimp looking? When watching the tank last night after we got home from working (like midnight) I noticed that there was a little tiny shrimp looking creature no bigger than my pinky thumbnail on a shell near the substrate...

I haven't run a FOWLR before. But I think your equipment is perfectly fine. In fact you probably have more light than you need since you aren't going to be growing coral.

Orange Spot Filefish are not reef safe. They eat coral. Which is a huge bummer. I love those fish so much.

When I bought it, it was about 4 inches long. Now it's really big and fat and maybe 6-8 inches long. They look cool.

Live rock rubble size can vary. Copepods will breed anywhere they have food and no predators. So it wouldn't matter if you make your fuge a display or not. Just make sure to not add anything that will eat them. On the Mandarin front, I would wait the year with a fuge running before adding...

I have an MP40 (the old type). But I would need to buy another one and a way to make them work together. Or I could just sell the old mp40, and get a wavebox and be done with it :D That was my way of thinking anyways.

Everything has it pros and cons. Lots of live rock rubble in a fuge can trap detritus. So can a ball of cheato. Do you care what the fuge the looks like, some people like having a display fuge, with different types of macro algae, it's like having a second tank :). You can go with no...

I have an internal overflow, would that block it from making waves? I have a lot of rockwork as well.

How do you like the Tunze Wavebox? I was thinking the nano might be good for my tank.

Does the refugium need to be lit 24/7? Some people run the lights for 6-8 hours ON, opposite their display tank time. Does not need to be on 24 hours. How deep of a sand bed do I need in the fuge? Depends on what you want to do. You can do mud, deep sand bed, or just an inch or two to...
