BTW Just wanted to say that Manhattan reefs is a much friendlier forum. Feels more like a family than RC (New Jersey Club forum). Although I've met some nice people on RC the atmosphere here is much better.

Unbelievably true. Turns the hobby into an addiction real quick..(Inkblue our prime example

)

Looks good. My only suggestion would be to increase the number of crabs and snails. This should help a lot with the cyano problem.

Also, if you are getting cyano on the sand, perhaps the flow rate at the bottom of the tank is too low. Do you have a powerhead running near the bottom?

Thanks for the suggestion. No powerhead running near the bottom. I have an aquaclear 70 powerhead that I could use for extra flow. Where would you recommend I get some crabs and snails? I saw some threads on RC as far as web sites. I've ordered from saltwaterfish.com before but I don't think they are good for cleanup crew orders.

Blue hermit and turbo snails right?

Kris Your right about the addiction. Already thinking about a 120. BTW I've had the clowns in a 44 for two months before that.

If you are referring to my stolen avatar from manhattan reefs... All I did was cut and paste it into microsoft paint and changed the pixels to 180x180. I still need to resize so I could fit in the f and s in reefs.
