I feel so sorry. I think I need to get a power back up since ur story. Since all ur fish died , there will be ammonia etc you might wanna do a 30% water change weekly. All your filter and skimmer etc must be on while. After 2or 3 weeks, water should be find( water test weekly). Live rock...

well I usually put salted water in a bucket and the salinity of water is high for sure cuz I don't test it. I pull in a cup of water into the tank first then y filter would tell me the salinity, usually it will raise the salinity a little for sure then I just top up some tab water to lower it...

maybe this is too late. I'm currently using G3 system, it works very well. It tells you the water conductivity , salinity , u can adjust the water flow. It remiss you how many days u have used for chemicals. The biggest thing is that the water cannot escape out from the filter, they have to go...

I kept urchin for a week, and he was doing very well I my 5months old 26gallons tank. However, I putted a new stronger power head yesterday, it caused all my live stock react scared. Later on, I was doing a water change, I hit the urchin by mistake, and from that on, urchin start to not move and...

Instant ocean is the brand I'm using, not bad, and yes, salt don't contain any ammonia! But maybe other stuff in your bucket have them. When I first started tank, I got high ammonia during my cycle, and nothing was in my tank, only water...... No one could explain it.....

Your salt is 1.18? Normal is 1.23-1.27how big is your tank and how long you kept it?

Don't touch or try to move it, bubbles like to be where it is. Even if you move it, they might still go back to old spot, it's really their own choice.

When you do water change , you vacuum it. Also steer the sand , the filter would help. But water change is the main, cuz the waste only can get rid from water change.

Really depend on what you going to keep inside the tank, some fish and inverts like strong current, but others like moderat and low, overwhelming would make them stressed.

Should be fine they are all quit, watch out for longnose, not really sure about it. Also don't put everything at once!

Should be ok, crAb and snails are so small that won't really effect, And one or two fish every months is good, but Add more within a month. Also watch out for the water due to new fish.

ReLly depend on how your ocean current is. They go by with your current, so facing the power head towards your new rock would probably good idea. Within 1 week or so, you will see some thing.

Buying rocks from unknown person, there must be hazard. You don't know what's could be on it or not, one small thing could Change your whole tank. But , if the source is clean and safe, then the price is worth to buy from , otherwise you pay way more from local stores. Recycling the rock...

I think it doing well if it's still moves around lots. If you see him loss spines or not really moving or stays at the bottom of the tank, it's not good sign!
