ive not set one up but ive read very difficult to set up hard to filter, need low flow, tall, cylander tank sorry not much help but thats what ive heard.

oh here is what it looked like in spring time last year

started this 75 gallon in feb last year slowly been building on it and adding things.

i currently know people not using a skimmer but im here to say once you see the nasty stuff it pulls out you will wonder why you never got one before. for a small tank i would say maybe a bak pak or a remora, maybe a coralife 65 im sure theres other brands as well but for that size tank i would...

well i have 2 peices of the coated metal that is used for closet shelves. these are cut to size to just fit on top of my tank so they are not touching water and can not fall in, one peice for each side . on top of these i add 4 layers of screen. (local hardware store screen for windows or doors)...

had same issue going for awhile with mine. currently my clam is alive but in a protected area of the tank inside a cage. I believe one of my tangs was nipping at it. if yours is still alive make a cage for it and put it in there if it gets better probabbly a nipper

Get another test kit and test the water or take the water to LFS Ive had testkits read ammonia before and yes same brand you have there. it may just be goofy but before i did anything else i would buy a salifert test kit and/or go to LFS and have them test.

just to help him out here alittle yep its a skimmer and I would think it would be way to much of a skimmer for a 28 gallon. IMO

very unique fish in my opinion. not out very often but definalty has some personality. need to make sure your rocks wont tumbe down as they will dig and dig hense the name. but i love mine but they do get big

not alot of info here for people to help with we need parameters tank info etc.. best quess is you stirred up alot of nasty stuff under the rocks, or your waterchange was not prepared correctly. other inhabitants might be hardier that the copperband so dealt with these issues better. another...

some people set it up so waste can be used in washing clothes, or run the waste line out into the garden or the grass in the summer. store some for indoor plants. it really does not need to be wasted if that is a concern of yours. Personally mine goes down the drain.

I would reccomend ditching the suction cups and using the hang on brackets or getting the magnetic holders for the powerheads. Otherwise it may happen again. JMO you should be fine

also can try pura nitrate lock. its not a replacement for waterchanges but it can help you get the nitrates down.
