Any stand that can take the eight, even a side table will work or you could build your own.

Not atypical the part that is dead was probably getting no light. They are pretty tough corals.

How big? Is it empty or full?

Welcome to the hobby. I'd add at least one more power head on the opposite side of the tank. Next I'd re-home the tang. Your tank is way too small for any tang but definitely not a sailfin. Salt water fish are aggressive/territorial. A large fish like a tang needs a large territory. As it...

I guarantee the water temp didn't change enough to stress the fish. You are talking about a 4 degree difference but you are only changing 1/6th of the water. It would be less than 1 degree. The pH change you are talking about isn't much either. It could be the blennie or the chromis...

I use an aquarium controller. Not an expensive apex, mine is a cheap reef keeper lite. It can control other things but I use it for the heaters. It shuts odd the power to the heaters when the water gets above the set point. It also has an audible alarm that tells me if the temp is above or...

Never believe the guy at the fish store. He’s trying to sell you a fish.

A QT set up is pretty simple. A 10 to 20 gallon tank. No sand or rock. A heater, a small power head, a sponge filter and air pump (these are super simple filters but very effective because you can seed the sponge with bacteria in the tank before setting up the QT and it is easy to sterilize...

For starters your tank is way too small and you know this. Basic rule is if your tank isn't big enough for the adult fish don't buy it until you have a tank that is big enough. You have several large fish (even if they aren't large now) in a space that is too small. The trigger and grouper...

Even if your live rock had parasites, the time the tank is cycling will allow them to die off because there will be no fish in the tank. Like Jay said reputable stores will have their live rock in dedicated fishless systems. Ocasionally I've seen them with a single fish that is not for sale...

I wouldn’t go smaller than a 40 gallon breeder.

You might look into SB Reef lights. I've never used them but I have heard really good things about them. You can also go with something like a Mars Aqua. They are inexpensive LEDs not bad. I think they are typically available on Ebay or amazon. Since you are not going to do coral it really...

It would have to be a T5 fixture.

I love my Flipper

Try emailing them to yourself in a smaller size.

I do the same (just toss the new in) if it is just a small fraction of the total. As I remember your dad has a 125, a couple chunks of uncured rock shouldn't be an issue.

Yes they do, they actually dry better under water. When you put it on the frag out of the water it will form a skin. When you put it on the rock kind of mush it and twist it a little and it will work better I use a lot of glue when I attach things. I use the BSI (Bob Smith Industries) IC-Gel...

Should be fine. I glue my frags down.

The power head in the fuge isn't necessary. You shouldn't need a HOB filter at all with a sump. The sump is your filter. I purchased several super cheap power heads on amazon several years ago. I think the brand is SunSun, a cheap Chinese company. They cost on the order of $10 each. That...

I have a bare bottom in my fuge, A large piece of Marine pure, some pieces of rock rubble. I have a power head to keep things moving in there. I have chaeto and capulara. Neither one grows particularly well for me. I use a Zetlight E100 Macroalgae LED Light. I works better than others I've...
