Hello Bifferwine I have already read the article This tang is new! In best interest of my tank, should I remove it from tank and apply ich medication on him or I am better leaving it in the main tank to avoid giving it stress and let its immune system take care of it. (and I am relying on my UV...

Thanks everyone Issue is yesterday morning there were no spots then when I cam home at night he was full of dots. This morning again I could not see the dots, now I am back and again I see the them but I guess there are less spots! Is it normal sign of ich? Should the ich start to develop...

ok for 26 gal most likely won't worth it the effort. The sump looked way bigger at first glaze! Go with tray and put the light on top of it. You may take an output of your return pipe (to avoid having extra pump) and then use a pipe for return to avoid water fall sound. Also use a valve in...

Inside the general area (where you place LR) place a partitioning glass and use the separate space! Also being at front could be easier to remove. But you need keep in mind the placement of lighting.

Just suggestion! Consider placing a partition perpendicular to the seperator; Right now you have vertical separator, place a horizontal separator between them. You could use it as refugium. Water goes from one side and comes back from the other side into sump. (this side should have some slid...

I am about to try carbon dosing. However problem is carbon dozing promotes the growth of ALL kind of micoorganism. Some resourse suggest: I am thinking instead of refugium, use serial tanks used in sewage water treatment system.(Instead of tank I have buckets and family size drink bottles!)...
