Thy won't harm anything inside your tank, but, keep one eye open when you sleep...

Munnid Isopods

It's just me. The Sun doesn't go from 8am to noon all at once.

20" tall? The height is what determines the glass needed. At 20" tall 3/8 will do. Once you get to 24" you'll need 1/2". I would not go thinner than 3/8 @ 20". Tempered?

Nice!

If it were me I would be sure to stagger the lights by at least 30 minutes.

I just have a 75gpd RO/DI. We use the RO a lot to supply all of our drinking water and the DI feeds the tank as well as the ice maker. My product to waste ratio is 5 gallons of waste for each 1 gallon of product water. This it typical.

Series is one after the other like you described. Parallel means feeding both RO filters off the same source water.

My understanding is that Niger Triggers are planktivores but like aduvall, I'm not well versed in Triggerfish.

I would be happy to sell you something like that. It's not going to work right though. Connecting RO filters in parallel will work fine and will double your output. I don't think the typical RO filter will work properly in series. Maybe I'm off base and missing something completely. I just...

Yes

Adding a second RO to the waste line will cause backpressure on the first RO and low pressure on the second making neither perform well. In my humble opinion the two good options are: 1 - Accept that RO will waste 3 - 5 gallons of water for every gallon of product water 2 - Only use a DI...

Fine a good picture of Clownfish in an LT Anemone and tape it to the side of the tank where they can see it. Not too close to their Anemone though.

You're wasting a lot of money hooking a DI onto your wastewater line. You would actually be better off using straight DI and ignoring the RO. This is what your setup is doing: Sediment filter removed big particles Carbon block is removing chlorine and other chemical contaminants RO is...

Running a deionizer exclusively will work but that will get expensive. You can use the waste water, it's probably cleaner than your straight tap water. Mine goes into my pool when it's not frozen. It can be used in washing machines, that's fairly common. It's drinkable too. What do you...

A tiny piece of a shrimp would work fine.

I agree. If you want to feed it some fish food it should scarf up anything meaty you drop in front of it.

Does it have thick legs or thin legs? Are all of the legs the same size? How many legs does it have?

Every little bit helps. Unfortunately in the big picture of things there really are not that many spores in the bottle.

Someone way back when did the math on substrate surface areas. This is the area available for bacteria to colonize. Crushed coral had about the surface area of a large bedroom. That's pretty awesome. A 1/2" sand bed had about the same surface area as a basketball court.
