yep, no reason at all why you cant use one....
What type have you got in mind? and the specifics asked by Grins would be good too..

90 gal tank
20 gallon refg.
75 lbs live rock (more on the way)
I already have a Vortex D1 for my fresh water, but I wasn't sure how it would do with inverts and coral.
Thanks

Looks like a dragon pipefish or another type of pipefish to me. Way cool huh? Maybe one day I'll set up a seahorse/pipefish species tank.
How long has the tank been set up? How are the pipefish and the clam doing? I love the pipefish but I'd be afraid those clowns would get food before it had a chance.
The thing in the front is a Alligator pipe fish.
I feed him plankton, and at the same time I feed the others flake food so there is no real problem.
The tank has been set up for about 2 months now, but I used sand and live rock from a small FOWLR tank I had going for about 2 years.
I have had the clam for 2 weeks now and hes doing great, hes almost always open.
As far as the pipe fish, I like him because he looks kind of like a seahorse, but hes a community fish, nice addition.

He is beautiful. Everything I've read says to keep them in species only tanks with seahorses perhaps. By the way, that looks like a crocea, have you tried to put it in the rocks?
My reef guy at the LFS told me he (pipe fish) would be fine in the tank as long as nobody would compete with him for food. When I feed just marine-snow type food, then they all swim after the food and he hides, but if I put flakes in at the same time the other fish tend to like the flake food more and go for that first.
As for the clam, I was told that he likes to be at the rock line but in the sand.
Is that true?
As for the diatom filter, would it kill off my phytoplankton?
