    Its nothing to be concerned about

    what Salt Creep means is "do not take 100% out in 1 go or your bacteria population is reduced significantly thus you could have an ammonia/ nitrite spike again

    IMO - removal of 25% a week over a 4 week period, in a low to moderately stocked tank is OK
    If your worried, you cant go to slowly IMO, so removal of 15% over 6 weeks or so would also work fine

    You can do it either way. Personally I would just remove 1/4 of the bio-balls at a time and once gone put the rubble in.

    Oh yea, just do it when your ready. Nothing bad will happen in the mean time with relation to just leaving them in place.

    Looks kinda of like a BTA, but could be a LTA.

    The frogspawn is going to get stung that close to it, you gotta get the corals out of the anemones way until it finds a spot.
