We use filter socks and bags of media separately...You should swap out the filter sock bi-weekly, esp if you have a NO3/PO4 issue. If you run media...
If they're overcrowded, they are most likely competing for light. Since it sounds like you have Rhodactis sp., do you feed them at all?
I just buy the black fittings up front so they blend in...harder to find, but a lot easier to use than painting them...then again, I REALLY dislike...
We didn't use PVC for our peacock, but 2" would have worked out fine. You might consider using ABS tho, as it's black and hides better.
Here are a couple more articles for you to check out: Quarantine! It's a Life Sentence, not a Death Sentence Understanding & Treating Cryptocaryon...
How long did you have the fish? What size tank do you have? How large are the lions, and what species? Were the lions already in residence when...

The "brown algae" (actually diatoms) are a normal part of the cycling process, and would have cleared up all on its own without the snail. IMHO,...
Agreed...they're fine in brighter lighting out in the open, and you CAN teach them to open during the day. Ours would open up whenever they sensed...
You have a lot of patience...;D Once the lights are up, we'll be able to finish the aquascaping, which will pretty it up some. We still have a few...
56...Renee is quite a bit younger than me tho. Been doing SW for close to 25 years, but have been around tanks all my life (literally)...my dad was...
