    feeding frogspawn mysis- I failed- what am i doing wrong

    i agree w/ NM Reef as long as you have sufficient lighting direct feeding is not required. i would still try it from time to time though. sometimes stuff just ain't hungry. w/ my Green BTA it's hit or miss. sometimes he's hungry sometimes he's not.

    Have Pity on a Newbie To Plumbing....

    no but you would want a valve incase you had to lets say take your sump out so that the water wouldn't backsiphon from the main display tank all over your pretty little floor. what you really need on each is a PVC union w/ a ball valve on each side of the union so can cut it off from either...

    i don't really see where a checkvalve would come into place. that is just a valve that lets water only flow in one direction. valves are placed strategically for maintenance. you'll probably want to put a double valved union on both your supply and your return.

    What do i feed my mandarin? (Supplemental Feeding)

    sometimes you can convince your mandarin to eat frozen mysis, is that doesn't work try live brine or live mysis if you can find them. if non of this works just make sure you have a good sump/fuge setup
