    Okay, yeah I figured I didn't really NEED a protein skimmer. Maybe in the future when I have more money. I've already got a hydrometer but I'll need to get a refractometer. And yeah I planned on throwing a dead table shrimp in the tank to get the ammonia spike really going. I have a good HOB...

    Well if he doesn't get along with the tank mates I'm just gunna leave him in the 20g tank until he really really needs an upgrade and then I'll get him his very own 40g or something. But does everything I said in the post make sense? Am I headed in the right direction?
