Yes don’t touch them and it depends on the worms as to their removal

things should get slowly better

Do you know how to establish the optimum water volume in your system

No offence intended IMO at this stage of your hobby experience I think mastery of the fundamentas are in order before thinking of corals Quote: Originally Posted by Nfsplayer Not rushing, just planning ahead as of which corals will do good in my small tank.

I understand what you are saying about the refuge not running low but in that situation he runs a huge risk of the water level in the compartment with the return pump falling to low if he has a false sense of security about not checking for a top off for a few days Quote: Originally Posted by...

I don’t see how this is correct. The water level in our Sump is predicated on evaporation in our DT. Now we restrict the flow back into our DT by the valve on the return which is equivalent to going with a lesser GPH pump. The slower the pump puts water back into our DT the less volume of water...

You can try but I doubt it. In all honesty if it was my tank, and in so much as it’s only a 29g. I would take the loss. Remove everything dump the sand bleach the rock and start over. I know that may seem drastic due to some algae growth but sometimes drastic measures at the outset leads to...

IMO you want to get the algae out now and all of it. Use a small cup scoop up sand and algae (take the loss of sand) and dump it.
