oops posted a typo... my salt is 1.023-1.025... if you were questioning my salt fluctuation its becase of the water changes tend to add more salt (i don't have much evaporation)

I'm not a pro by any means, but I've watched one in my bosses tank at work go from about the size of a couple of grains of sand to a quarter size piece of pink sponge, and i have them several places in my tank at home (powerheads, heater... places that i could pick them out). Sponges are filter...

Sounds like they are baby sponges, looks like this? \|/ ( ) I have them on my powerheads and what not.

My cleaner shrimp has the most personality in my tank, but for cool looking it'd be a monkey shrimp (i know they aren't reef safe but mine hasn't done anything but live peacefully in my tank.) or golden stripe marron clows.. or a decorator crab, but he picks on my smaller xenias...

Great info thanks guys.

I've read and herd all sorts of opinions on how often and how much water I should change out. But i'm not sure why I should. I have a 26 gallon tank that has been runing with live rock for about a month and my ph, amonia, nitrite, salenty and temp have all been at the correct levels (salt @...
