You all are annoying! My question was about skimming only. Don't worry about my setup worry about your own

I've been doing this for a long time and I hate seeing people do that also. The 20g is 20 long, not the short one. Those two fish will be alright for a couple months. My 75 was previously freshwater.

I appreciate your advice on the fish. These are the only two fish I have, the rock Pygmy angel is very small and the beauty is small as well. I'm working on a 75g now that will hold everything someday

I have a CPR bak pak skimmer. Wondering what the appropriate frequency and duration are for skimming. My setup is 20 gal reef with a few soft corals, Pygmy angel and a coral beauty, hermits, cleaner shrimp, brittle star. Everything is beautiful, no problems, just making sure I'm not skimming...

I read that a higher water current rate can add to higher nitrate levels. Is this true?

Okay, what I figured. How do I know that's what has happened as opposed to something bad? how often do they shed typically? This crab is new to my tank so could it be stress? Thanks

What's the story on these guys shedding their exo?

Perfect thanks, looks like what I have is fairly standard although a nuisance. I did use tap water and realize this is not ideal. I have had some trouble getting the nitrates down, any advice? I've been doing a water change every week.

I am new to saltwater tanks, have a 75gal fresh that is extremely well established. Decided to start a small reef tank. Currently have about 6lbs of live rock up on a 10 gal for 1 month. This is my first saltwater tank ever. I want to turn this into something much larger one day. Anyway, I...
