Hello from cider making country sunny Gloucester in the UK, I've been lurking on a few forums for awhile and watched from a far and after 2 years after getting a reefer 170 and moving serveral times I thought it's time to finally get it up and running and see if I can keep it going long enough to get it looking as good some the tanks on the forum. I've only been in the hobby 2 years so class myself as a "newbie" so any help/suggestions with the tank would be great my wish for this reefer 170 is to be mostly SPS with a few LPS for flow and movement, looking at a monti dominated tank with chalices growing on bare bottom and maybe a hammer coral here and there. The tanks been up since May 2017 EQUIPMENT Reefer 170 Radion XR 30 Ehiem 300 return pump 2 X jebao wp10 Titanium heater with controller Bubble magus curve 5 Micro Smart ATO STOCKING 2 x Picasso clown fish 1x black/white cardinal 1x coral beauty 1x blue tuxedo urcin 1x massive blue legged hermit crab (big Dave) 2 x Halloween crabs 10/15 x trohcus snails CORALS pink birdsnest red monti cap green monti cap red digital monti

I have cycled a Biocube that I recently stocked with a Fire Goby, a cleaner shrimp, a pistol shrimp, a Yasha Goby, A Cardinal fish, and some frags. Everything else is doing great, with the exception of the cardinal, which is now lodged under a rock with a cherry under his eye. He's been fine thus far (he's been in there two days) but now he is whittling away. Is there anything I can do for him?
