my sand bed was new and i just wanted to make sure that if it did go through a mini cycle, i wouldn't have any fish or anything in there to stress out. i recently added a peppermint shrimp and he pretty much ate 80% of my aiptasia already. i was quite surprised. i also have the rio and i'm doing almost 40% water changes weekly. the water still has some particals floating around but it's much better since i got that little surface skimmer attatchment (which kindda gets annoying to be honest. it's very finiky with the skimmer. slight water level changes like evaporation will offset the skimmer. still working on perfecting it). i think the little particles come from the filter inside the rio skimmer but i've yet to find any place in calgary that sells replacements
 i tried golds and oceans. no luck.

what kind of surface skimmer did you go for? and where did u get it? I've been looking around in calgary for an attachment to the Rio Nano Skimmer.
Also whats the price tag on it?  I'll post some pics of my 10 gallon tomorrow for you to see mine

Pieces has this generic one that plugs into the rio (aquaclear i believe). I just can't figure out how to get it to float and adapt as the water level changes due to evaporation. it was something like $17.99. Pretty cheap but I guess you get what you pay for. Let me know if you end up getting the same one and if you get it working properly. I have an elastic holding the top piece down and just setting it to 100% surface skim instead of 50/50 surface/underwater.
