    There is a shop about an hour away that has nice tanks. Do you think that it would be better to buy acclimated fish from that shop?

    Water changes

    I've done many water changes since I set up my tank and I was wondering if I should keep up the weekly change if my Nitrate doesn't go above 5.0?

    Can anyone identify this Aenmone?

    Protein Skimmer
