lacking o2
seems my fish are breathing heavy i was told since my stand is closed on the back and i have a canopy that there is no o2 getting in the sump or tank so they said put an air stone in the sump feed from an air pump outside the stand your thoughts please

IMO you should have enough o2 getting into the water with 2 overflows. How long did you let the tank run before you added the fish?

all tanks go threw cycles this is just one that im sure it will go threw before it all stableizes nothing serious the water rock and sand was cycled but not in the tank so expect some brownis on the sand and rock the urchin is keeping it clean so far
