+1 I feed my tank a wide variety- marine angelfish mix plus brine, mysis, clam, squid, krill, and bloodworms. I have noticed that the pigmy angels...
That may help to some extent, but I doubt it would be as effective as a sponge or filter floss. Your LFS should carry replacement intake/prefilter...
1) Absolutely not! Just understand that the canister is a high-maintenance filter-- trapped debris will still deteriorate into DOCs, same as if left...
+1 I don't know what the PAR or actual color spectrum is on the reptile bulb. Not too certain that the wrong spectrum won't cause a major nuisance...

No, your T5's are fine. How often were you feeding before? If it wasn't growing at an unusual rate, then that's probably what it needs.
+1 What type of lighting do you have? Some lose their color spectrum after only 6 months, even though the bulb lasts much longer. The only other...

Got 2 friends to vote, so far... just reposted. Good Luck!
I'd definitely keep cucumbers away. They can spew toxins if attacked and kill the entire tank. And being soft-bodied... a very bad idea, IMHO...
Both should vacuum loose fairly easily with a small hose. Just do that while draining water for a water change. That would be the least invasive...
Hehehe... I just hope nobody takes it too personally when I misunderstand their intentions. Maybe this will help you understand who I am... I was...
Absolutely, that makes a major difference from what I was imagining you were planning to do to your system. :) Since that's the case, you're good to...
That was in reference to needing a sand-sifter after the fact. :)
+1 Also, are you planning to put mangroves in your main DT? You do realize that they are a swamp/coastline plant, don't you? I'm not aware of any...
