IF YOUR TANK IS MADE OUT OF GLASS ONLY: Do not do this on acrylic tanks... You can actually scrape the salt and algae build up from your tank walls by using a box cutter blade and PVC pipe (as a handle!) Ive attached a picture of it. It will NOT scratch your glass. - Just make sure it's a glass...

Skimmers don't work as soon as you plug them in. It takes days to notice the collection of gook. Make sure it's getting the right amount of air - but not too much or it will overflow. Keep it on at all times, after a week to two weeks you will see that it is filled with dark/greenish liquid.

It amazes me as to how these kids choose what to put into the tank. Clorox ..Hott Sauce... They never seem to dump water, snapple or anything that wouldn't cause any real harm to the fish. .. it's almost as if someone put them up to it. Clorox is very common, it's amazing that they have access...

Phytoplan is a spray-dried blend of several strains of phytoplankton. The intact cells aren`t living, but when rehydrated, they are a microencapsulated source of color-enhancing beta-carotene and astaxanthin pigments, vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids. A concentrated food, much...

You may want to lower the amount of air that is getting into the skimmer otherwise most of the liquid in the top is probably going to be water.

A cup of water should do, just make sure your fish aren't claustrophobic.

Your foxface would be fine in just 1 ML of water.

1/2 a gallon should be good for a full size foxface.

Look into Midwest Atlantic's denitrifer. (no more water changes)
