I've done the math. It's not a viable option.

Ice is not a viable solution. There just isn't enough energy exchange there. Evaporation is the most efficient but if you can't get that working well enough then the chiller is #2.

It's just a concern I have. I might be way off base. OTOH, 1/4 drop could be an overdose. We just don't know if it is extending the life of your fish or severely shortening their lifespan.

A Possum crawls through your humidity vent and drowns itself in your lagoon.

I worry about people dosing their fish with vitamin C. I know it is an essential vitamin but there are no published daily recommended amounts for each fish so how do you know the product you use isn't overdosing?

Yes but I'm a little outdated. I'd wait for Snake or someone who has recently worked acrylic with Plexiglas.

To bond acrylic you should be using a solvent like Weld-on.

I'm sticking with Mithrax sp.

Sounds like a Mushroom. Try feeding one and see if it curls around the food. A meaty bit of seafood will work.

That's just part of the normal lifecycle probably. Most fish can fight it off if they're not stressed but it's rare for a captive fish to not be stressed. Most likely they will disappear for a day or two and then be back five times stronger.

Hermits don't typically hide inside the live rock. I think it's some type of Mithrax Crab. They are omnivores but have a very strong preference for hair algae. If it can easily catch a fish it will eat it. It would have to be a slow small pretty dumb fish though.

Does it have a stony base? They do resemble Hairy Mushrooms. Can you see a mouth in the center of any of them?

If it were me I would definitely remove it from the display tank. I would be tempted to keep it in a species tank though. When they get a bit larger some of them have some interesting colors.

Yes, I used one of those rectangular specimen containers. Worked fine. Set it low in the tank and poured it slowly on the new sand bed.

use the microwave safe version. It stands up to the heat better.

They hitchhike on rocks in their Hydroid stage. When they get enough food the hydroid will pop off a Jellyfish. They have a strong sting so can be irritating to fish.

I used a square plastic container and just scooped it out slowly.

Flower, since you actually require bubbles try saran wrap over the lights. It doesn't cut down on light significantly and once a week you can replace it easily.

It's a Jellyfish.
