It could be the Mysis were too big or too cold.

They are a kind of snail. I can’t remember what they are called. They won’t hurt anything but those shells are sharp so watch your fingers.

Need more info. What kind of fish? how big is your tank? how old is your tank? what are the water parameters? how long have you had this fish? when was the last fish added? is your tank covered? what other fish do you have?

Look at the Red Sea reefers. changes I’ve seen: definitely lighting is a big one. Not just the switch to LEDs but the ability to ramp up and down in a dawn to dusk fashion and even some programs that do thunder storms and other effects. I use Kessil LEDs in a hybrid T5 fixture. wet/dry...

With that size tank, you are fine to add a pair of clowns. I recommend quarantining them first. If they bring in a parasite you will need to keep your tank fish less for 6-10 weeks depending on the parasite to allow it to die off in the tank. If you don’t all future fish will be infected and...

Give us some history and time lines as to what you’ve done so far. And details on the tank.

welcome to the world of salt water. a 29 gal may fit in your stand but is a poor choice for a sump/refugium. It is way too tall and very difficult to work in. ome of the great things about a sump (only one section would be the refugium) is that you can hide equipment in it like a protein...

No instrument is 100% accurate, I’m a chemist I know. Don’t panic that is the fastest way to cause a problem. If everything is doing well don’t worry. Corals need phosphate especially softies and LPS.

BRS has some square sumps.

Makes way more sense.

20L, so approx 5 gal, or 20 gallon? 20L would be way too small a 20 gallon long would be good.

I’ve never had an issue with that.

pods will be filtered out by filter socks, for that reason i don’t use them. pods are pretty small and have no problem getting through the return pump. I’d nix the sponge. It doesn’t really serve a purpose and it is a place for crud to collect.

Sea horses usually need to be kept at lower temp because they are very prone to bacterial infections in captivity.

I’m not sure there is a rule. I don’t like too much or I end up with a river rapid through my sump kind of defeating the purpose of a refugium. Maybe 3-4 times an hour. You want to have a gate valve on the return so you can control flow.

No give it about 3-4 more weeks. During that time ghost feed as if you have fish.

That is comparable to mine. You can adjust intensity probably and you can adjust the height of the light as the ant of time it is on.

They are easy if your tank is stable. The only ones I’d get are the skunk cleaners. Coral banded shrimp aren’t a great choice becaus when they are grown they will take fish.

I use a gravity fed waterer but my dogs are way smaller and don’t drool.
