If I understand you question, you want to move a tank with a DSB. It would be best to drain the tank and remove everything else, if possible. If you have to remove it you'll probably have to...

I don't have a kole tang but I have four other types and they leave my sleeper gobies alone. It may just be that one tang that is aggressive. Maybe you can trade him back for another.

Is it a sump or a refugium? I run 1600 GPH thru my 50G sump with no problem. My 30x24x6 refugium gets about 800 GPH. I also have a powerhead in it to circulate the water within the refugium.

I use mine in my refugium. Extra space for pods to multiply. Larger pieces make good bases for frags.

Blennies can be mean to each other but leave other fish alone. I have two Lawn Mower blennies (Salarias fasciatus) in my 160G. When one sees the other a chase will ensue. Luckily I have enough rock...

You need to be a bit more specific, like what kind of fixture you have, which ballast, and why MH if you interest is in fish?

I would also suggest using an aquarium safe silicone sealant between the tank and the bulkhead seal. It's hard to seat them "just right" and this makes sure that you don't have a leak.

I would pick a larger front to back distance than height. You can do a much more natural and complex aquascape, and it gives you more surface to mount corals.

I used a orange oil based solvent. Took the tag right off and didn't harm the acrylic. I got rid of the oil residue with a swipe of a clean cloth.

The gobies dump sand everywhere. One pair can move at least a few pounds per day. They are constantly taking mouthfuls and rise to the surface while expelling the sand from their gill slits.
