I agree in theory. Yet I just recently added a pair of nems to my tank. The fish approach but never get too close. I think certain fish do "learn" to stay away. Yet others eat nems like candy. I believe in nature the nems flourish bc of the abundance of prey. Way too many fish for all to have...

Agreed. Water changes replace trace elements and remove wastes. A sump is a filtering aid. Now if u want to cut down on water changes u can do larger ones less frequently. Say 20% monthly

Over 5 days would be iffy. But feed before u leave. There are snacks on live rock and such

They will be fine. 5 days isntterribly long

Ah ok how did the tests look?

Have u tested ur water for a cycle?

I know a fella on a diff forum a nem ate his sailfin tang lol. Clowns are Immune to the sting but most other fish are not. So yes they should stay away

Hmm I just lost a pep shrimp a few days ago myself. My skunks are all good cleaning away. Idk

The lfs thing is crazy. Customer service like that how do u stay in business?

Ha ha ha most not all but most do leave corals alone but nems are like candy to some. I thought about getting a copper banded, when I had an apatasia issue but I knew I didn't have enough for it to live off of long term.

Ah yes butterflies do like nems. Non of my fish bother them. Feeding so far is just frozen I already feed the fish.

Ha ha it was. The dotty is still a mofo. But the clown and damsel can hold there own. It sucks bc he's a nice looking fish w purple and yellow. But nasty lol

Yea idk. Originally it was a qt tank. Treated 2 clowns and a fox for ich. Killed the ich w in 2 days fish have been good since. That was 2 yrs ago. Then had a problem dotty back living in a tote lol so I moved him to the 20. Added lr, sand, ect. Then a yellow tail damsel, maroon clown, spotted...

Lol and so it begins

No snails. Only thing I can think of is the dose was low enough. But I do it per instruction. Its mardel copper safe
