Durr Yea that might help. Its a 75 with sps,lps and softies.

Berlin filteration princiable. Skimmer is a ehopps psk 100-h

fish are 1 scop tang, 3 anthias, 2 clown,1 manderin,1 starry blenny. Im taking 2 adult ugly pajamas out. The pipe might go in.

I have two janss and two bluestripes in my sps tank. I'd be leery of keeping them with lps that have sweepers.

I have a duncan and 2 smal chalices That have sweepers. They dont even get mysis stuck to them so i dont think they could get a pipe fish.

DO pipe eat Frozen or would they be competeing for the manderins food ?

Mine eat frozen but I got them all from LA/DD and they were weaned before I got them. 9/10 they will not accept frozen and they will decimate your pod population, then starve.

Sign up for the DD sneak peek and be on the look out for pipes, they have been popping up more frequently. I have a banded pipe coming in Tues from DD. you will pay a premium but it is definitely worth paying to have someone else get them on frozen.

a couple of mine

I want to put a pair of bluespripes into my 28g nano cube, would they not do well with frogspawn and a gbta anenome because of the tenticles?

Pipes should not be in a tank with anything that can sting.
