The Shedd is a short cab ride,as is The Natural History ...

I leave shrimp in my tank overnight but I am feeding large numbers so the shy get a chance that way, if it is still there in the morn that is too much food so remove that. Corn on the cob takes a week to be eaten completely btw. Pre cooked s...

Thats 250 pounds per square foot .About the same as a large person standing on the floor if your stand spreads the load evenly. If it has 4 feet the load is not spread evenly it would be about 200 pounds on each foot.

By that measure, then I'm way over stocked since I got 43 clowns in my tank system. I think differently because clown loaches like to cram together in the same space and swim tightly in large groups. your fish are not mature CK ..... you wil be overstocked if and when they all get there together.

This would leave much of the tank calmer as the refugium, Air blade would not be the best but would work, I was thinking boat prop for the variable pi...
