I have a 10 refugium with 2 hermits and 2 turbo snails in it. Do I need to put food in the refugium?

Levels are good, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, maybe 5 nitrate, ph 8.2. Clean up crew consist of 15 hermits, 3 emerald crabs, numerous snails, cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, 2 different types of star fish.

I have a chromie that appears to be dying. I attempted to catch it but it was able to get behind the rocks. I have at least 100 pounds of rock in a 75 gal. Should I move all my rock to try catch the fish or will the clean up crew take care of it if I don't get it?

I have to clean the glass every couple days on the front and sides. I am not worried about the back. Would more snails help with keeping the glass clean?

They appear to be doing ok. My nitrates have been running about 20. Will they help lower it at all? I do not have any in the new refuguim. How many should I have in it? I have have read that some people have 50 snails in their tank. :hilarious

I am adding a 10 gallon refugium next to my sump. My question is do I add 10 gallons of salt water or do I just add 10 gallons of RO/DI water to my system and pump it into the refugium?

I have a new flame angel that arrive 7 days ago. He stays in the rocks and does not come out at all not even to eat. I see him swimming through the rocks some but not much. I noticed him picking at the rocks. Could he be getting enough food just staying inside the rocks? My tank is 75 g and has...

I have a sea clone skimmer. It doesn't appear to produce much waist. My nitrates seem to stay aroung 20 or eventually return to 20 after a 20 gal water change. I thought a better skimmer might be in order.

How much waist should a good skimmer be producing in a 75 gal tank with 4 fish, numerous crabs and snail, starfish, mushrooms, aninomes and soft coral ? In the sump type of skimmer.

Does anybody have any experience with the hang on the outside refugium? I do not have room for a refugium under my tank so I was thinking about purchasing the hang on the side type. I do not want to waste my money if it does not work.

Where did you find the trap?

Does anybody have any tricks or words of wisdom on how to catch a Royal Gramma so it can be quarantined?

I don't know the grain size of the sand. I am not sure what a wet dry setup is. I am new to this.
