I've read people put fans on top of their tanks to help air circulation. Never tried it myself though as mine is 24/7 in AC controlled area.

get snails for the glass. What they don't eat you can scrap and will you'll have some food for your filter feeders . Hermits for rocks and sandbed as sinner's girl advises A crab may result useful as well if you want one (emerald or sally lightfoot) but there are people who don't like them...

My guess is that its reacting to the lighting change.. just give it some time and it should start trying to find another spot in the next days.

ask a friend to come check it every other day.. that helps because you don't know what can happen (pump failure, power outage, etc)

why so many powerheads? you just need to make sure the water has proper movement and avoid dead spots.. but you don't need to create a whirpool there

just make sure they're porous so pods can hide in the holes

Your mistake was not to research properly about Ich. Ich has cycle (of one month on average) from the moment it first appears. There are 2 ways to get rid of ICH in an aquarium. 1. Starvation 2 Medication The first one (Starvation) is to move all you fish to another ICH free tank. Before...
