first question. Octo 150 It doesnt seem to be constantly making skimmate. It goes in spurts. Is it because My live rock is been established in a tank for 2 yrs and there for there isnt alot for the skimmer to pull out? And when it does pull it out its not that dark filth i see some of you have. I assume its because i really dont have a big load on it yet?? Also I have to tube pulled up most of the way just to get out what i get is that normal?
2nd question. Right now I have 1 emerald crab 2 turbo snails and 5 blue legged hermits and 5 pea size blue legged hermits. I see various tiny snail coming out of the rock and a ton of pods!! Now that i have sand and if all goes well today i would like to get a clown fish and a skunk shrimp. What are the snails that live in the sand? I think its the nassaur(not sure how to spell) snail. How many should I get? I know the rule around here is 1 fish every three weeks. But the lfs has 2 small clown(like an 1in long) I cant imagine that being much of a problem?
I guess that the 3rd question. What to feed my clowns I hear frozen is better. The lfs says brine shrimp but not very nutrition and then he said flake but i hear flake food can lead to problems.?
1st ..Is my skimmer working right?
2nd..Is my cleaner crew good for not but also how many and what kind of snails should i get for the sand?
3rd.. What to feed my clowns?
