Which calcium reactor media are you using? What is alkalinity at? What were the tests for cal, alk, and mag at the day you started the calcium reactor?

You could use something like this if it's long enough, just turn it upside down so the bracing isn't in the way of the fixture. You don't need super strength - the fixture weighs less than 30 lbs.

Building code requires those pipes and wires to have protection - usually little steel plates that are mounted on the stud where the lines are.

That's an interesting idea. I imagine with pellets it probably wouldn't even chop them up. I'm going to give it a try simply by throwing some pellets in there at feeding time today.

Get Anthony to do it. If you had an old tank sitting around you could practise, but if he's willing to do it, then I'd take him up on it. He's also knowledgeable enough that he should he able to spot...

In my own tank I just use light stocking and good maintenance. I don't use GFO or carbon dosing. Nitrate is less than 0.25 ppm and phosphate is 0.003-0.009 ppm.

Yes it will take 4-6 weeks for them to work again if you get new ones. Just rinse them really well in old tank water until they don't stink anymore. They'll be back to life in no time.

Brian, looking at the overflow you currently have, you could drill the back of your tank to line up with the bulkheads in the front of that overflow. You'd have to use some silicone on the bulkhead...

I think you're going to have to build that inside the tank. I don't think you'll be able to move that in one piece.

In a 40-gallon tank, I'd recommend you just have the one. A breeding pair in a tank that size could be trouble. I'd also suggest that you pick more boisterous fish as tank mates.
