Filtration

[cichlidslover]

Well back to the topic, I'd strongly suggest leaving the filter on and if you happen to have any foreground plants, is suggest leaving the surface open therefore the light will be able to easily reach the bottom

Something is def startling them, the Cory probably took off and bounced of a point or corner of something, super clean water and good food. .

I'm thinking moving the bogwood about that do you think because it's the only think in there that's pointy

One 50% a week should be sufficient..you could.. i don't think it will help much vs. Loud construction noises

"Could you tone down the multimillion dollar construction project? My fish are injuring themselves." Hmmmmm, not sure that's going to sway many votes there.. I'm thinking adding some.kind of consistent vibration and white noise to the room to buffer the big noise.. maybe a table fan on or clamped to the stand.??

If you can, get a large flat piece of styrofoam big enough to go under your stand. Just lower the water levels and have a person helping u life the tank while someone else else the styrofoam under. The thicker the more it'll absorb. Problem solved adding clamps will only send the vibrations through it lengthening the time it takes to reach the tank
