A Black Sea Cucumber will eat the poop.

Scotchkote is reef safe after it cures. I don't know about any other liquid epoxies. Maybe use a two-part to seal it then coat it with scotchkote?? I've usually used the putty.

This is a problem. When water evaporates, only the water evaporates leaving the salt behind. When topping off you just want to replenish the water so it needs to be fresh water. Topping off with saltwater is a good way of slowing raising your salinity so it can be useful but if you want to...

A couple suggestions: 1 - get your own test kits 2 - add only one fish at a time (unless they are a bonded pair) 3 - prepare the bacteria in your tank for the increase in bioload by ghost feeding the tank for the week before adding a new fish. A couple questions: 1 - Do you make your own RO...

If the food is not in reach they often leave the rock. Look for Mysid Shrimp and Amphipods too. Probably Copepods as well. Copepods have one eye that shines back from the flashlight.

Use Weld-On. JMHO.

Yes, it's their job to clean up any uneaten food. Once it's been taken care of they go back to hiding. Try dropping a pellet in at midnight and come back to look 5 minutes later to see what has come out to feed.

ALK of KH10.6 does not need to be increased ;-)

It's a Bristleworm. Beneficial but the bristles can be irritating if they get on your skin.

I agree. If you can keep the water chilled like in a basement it is less likely to precipitate.

"normal" has many factors so the ideal range varies based on stocking list, temperature, even salinity. Your water is in the normal range but all could be a little higher, but it is adequate. Does your freshly mixed (after 24 hours) saltwater have similar values?

I agree, it's just a mis-bar. Not harmful and very unique. Does it have the same pattern on the other side?

And what about Calcium and Magnesium?

I hate to be a real pain but what is the unit of measure for those values? Alk of 7.8 dKH is low, ALK of 7.8 Meq/L is really high for example.

Tell me the actual measurements. "Normal" is no help at all in diagnosing issues.

Can you rephrase this question please. I am not sure what you are really asking.

Buy a small ice cube tray and freeze it. Adsd some RO water to it and put one feedings worth of food in each ice cube.

Well, no, that's not true.
