My BTA has split several times - the clown just went back and forth between them all. After the split, they may look withered and tired. Feed them both when you can - they may not eat right away.

I used the flatworm exit - no problem to the BTA or any corals. The mini brittles did not like it, but seemed to be ok after the water change and I added carbon. I don't know what's in that stuff,...

I have had the mithrax crabs for several years. They seem to do fine, but they don't always eat all the bubble algae you want them to. They don't seem to be destructive, though, and love algae...

It is called Garlic Xtreme by Kent. Comes in a dropper bottle. Soak the food in a few drops for 10 minutes before feeding. I had this happen to a tomato clown. You need to use it every day for...

I use the Spectrapure Litremeter and it's easy. Bought it from Premium Aquatics several years back and have had no problems with it. I do not have a sump/refugium under the tank.

I would do some major water changes, not small ones. If you don't have an RO unit, go buy some distilled water at the store and use that instead. Do you have any macroalgae (caulerpa or something...

Glad to hear it. I love mine also. It is a lot of work to get that cc out of there, but it is worth it. Now you won't have to vacuum. Be sure to order some detritivore kits and get some sand...
