ok well i will try and take some pics but basically
water from my overflow will go into my 16 gal fuge with 80 pounds of sand
i will eventually get cheato macroalgae to put in there
from my fuge the water will go back to my display.
yeah they are kinda intimadating but they are great! if you have a mantis shrimp that you think is cool just put em in the fuge!

i was all ready to build a sump/fuge for my 40 gallon that i desperately need because in there is a morron clown, and my snowflake eel will be going in there.....and corals...........and then my mom decided that it wouldnt be a good idea to have an extra 30 gallons of water wieght.............I will still try to convince her, i need at least a 20 i think.
but how are the jawfish doing? adding a fuge right off the bat would help even before it gets established since you will be adding an extra 10 gallons of water, then if you do another 10 % water changes before that.

I would think putting 5 fish in a 29 at 1 time. sorry this happened, hope you can save the other 4

I did read the whole thread, it doesn't matter if your tank is a 29 or 37, 5 fish at once is to many fish to add to just about any size tank. I am not blaming you, you really had no choice, it was either leave them in a bag even longer until you decide what to do with them, or take them out right away, and after being in a plastic bag for hrs, i would have done the same thing, take them out and take your chances 5 fish at one time wouldn't spike your ammonia to much, to fast, unfortunately it did and now you are desperately trying to save the 4 left, and that is a good thing, i really hope you can do it
