Yep

It will be amazing

It can in a reactor if the particles spend too much sitting still. Unlikely with the amount of GFO you’d put in a HOB filter. Use less and Change when needed.

Snowflakes generally don’t eat fish. Their natural diet is shrimp, crabs, etc. as long as he isn’t starving I wouldn’t worry.

It takes some time to get to zero. The first water that comes through can be higher. 4 should be fine. I use a basic TDS meter.

You can put a bag with GFO in the filter. Something like a nylon stocking works. I would wait.

Even sellers like divers den who do quarantine their fish recommend the buyer also quarantine.

Rule number one of marine aquarium keeping. Never believe what the guy at the store says. Many fish stores keep their salinity lower because it tends to slow down diseases. For the same reason many run a sub clinical level of copper in their tanks. It prevent disease from being evident in...

Mine are 15 amp. I do use two different circuits. My sump is in my basement and that is on a different circuit from the tank. Lights, power heads and heaters are on one circuit. The return pump, skimmer, water mixing pump and reactors are on a different circuit. Other things are on those...

Worth a shot.

id feed the rest of the fish then target feed the lion

You shouldn’t. I have a 120 that is running off regular outlets.

In my opinion all fish should be quarantined. The fish are not quarantined prior to sale and the wholesalers tanks are infested with diseases. You got lucky once. You won’t always be lucky.

I do use two float valves. The first is in the ATO container the second is in my sump. I also have a valve between the water source and the ATO container that can be turned off. I usually keep it on. I haven’t flooded my house since I set this system up 4 years ago. Plenty of floods before...

I use a gravity ATO with a simple float valve (kind of like a toilet). My RODI is plumbed from my kitchen, where the system is located, under the floor to a reservoir under my tank but above my sump. I also have the RODI plumbed directly to the norwesco tank I use for mixing salt water. it...

Your salinity(specific gravity) should be 1.025-1.027. Less is fine for fish short term but not long term. Inverts like anemones need the 1.026 salinity to survive. I doubt your nem is thriving, if Conditions, water quality, salinity and lighting aren’t perfect the nem will not survive.

if you email yourself the pic you can down size it. Not sure what your question is. If you are asking if they are bristle worms then I'd need a pic. If you are asking what to do with them, I'd add them back into the tank. They are good for clean up.

Sorry I only use LEDs but am considering getting a hybrid fixture that will work with my current Kessil LEDs and T5s.

Don’t change water until the cycling process is done. No clean up crew until the cycle is done.

Depends on the kind of cleaner shrimp, the coral banded ones may, they will even kill fish.
