Similar to bj32482, I thaw a cube of mysis in a cup of spring water from the bubbler, throw in a good pinch of flake, swirl it around, then add it in the tank a little at a time.

I wouldn't worry about it. Especially if it is in the 125 gal tank. Clean-up crew, worms, and other critters will make a quick meal of it.

I have the Remora Pro HOB and have been very happy with it. The skimmate is not the black sludge stuff people get excited about but it has worked great for my tank. I get bubbles after I clean it but...

IME the actinics appear to fade out over time. I've read somewhere MH can last 12 - 18 months but that seems too long to me. I split the difference and change both MH and actinics at 11 months. I do...

Mine does similar except he sleeps at the surface. Every once in a while, she will start flapping and splashing like crazy then stop like nothing is going on.

I agree to some extent. I don't fully agree that the food contains nitrate but rather it's over feeding and uneaten food decomposing that increases nutrients and nitrate. But, I've never tested this....

I'd be surprised if you got a spike at all. The bristle worms, etc, should make quick work of it. I agree with the earlier post that every tank should have a clean-up crew.

I have a DSB that is about 3 yrs old. I have no plans to replace it. I was lucky to get 150 lbs of the last available Southdown and am reluctant to part with it :)

I'd also think about temp if you're planning on keeping it in your reef tank. Animals that live in tidal pools can accept a wide variation in temp but I'm not sure how long something from the Myrtle...

I'd suggest cover with egg crate. It allows gas exchange as well as heat to escape. Also keeps fish in the tank.

As DarG suggested, evaporation is not necessarily a bad thing. With a top off...
