    Two weeks after a move my tank leaks. Not sure if company i hired did anything wrong, I see no cracks. However, I am trying to save the refuge by running pump and recirculating the refugewater. Also, sand is in a bucket about 9-10 inches deep with a pump circulating the water on the top. Will this work?

    The refuge has "ceto" (not sure if spelled right) and I was think about putting food in there too.

    the chato feeds off of nitrate or nitrie i believe but the sand needs that as well so if you put flake food it should decompose to keep it alive dont take my word for it but that is what i would do. also hope all goes ok with the tank :)
