84°F is a tad on the warm side. I try to keep mine below 83, assuming my thermometer is correct. The ammonia spike is really just the beginning of your cycle. http://www.fbas.co.uk/Nfacts.html

remove everything into buckets with water from the tanks. remove as much water before as possible. the nano shouldn't be a big issue moving it with a little water and some sand so i wouldn't disturb the sand (assuming you have sand). For a short trip you shouldn't need any type of water...

i'm not familiar with those setup

Are you running any mechanical filtration?

same here 80°F-83­°F in my tank

yeah that's the same reason why i would have a hard time fitting even the 1's in my tank.

wish they were a bit smaller then i would replace my 250gph PH. They are kind of big for a 29g tank. :sad:

Here are the sizes. Model Flow Rate Watts Dimensions Koralia 1 400 gph 3.5 2-1/4" x 5" Koralia 2 600 gph 9 2-7/8" x 5-7/8" Koralia 3 850 gph 10 2-7/8" x 5-7/8" Koralia 4 1,200 gph 12 3-1/4" x 6-1/4" 2400gph would definitely be over the 20x (1400gph) that you are...

I've never used either but I have heard good results from Purple Up. I have a decent amount of coralline algae so I'm not interested in getting any more. It already sucks scrapping the coralline off of the display pane.

1 l = 0.264172051 US gallons or 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liter

looks pretty good. the only suggestion that i have would be to find a wire clip that you can attach to the power head cord. this will keep the power head from dropping into the sand if or when the suction cups loose their grip. my suction cups never last long in my tanks. keep up the nice work.

I would wait out the cycle. Nothing worse than causing another cycle to start by adding your clean-up crew too early. Plus you run a high risk of killing anything you add to the tank at this time. I wouldn't rely on your LFS to test your water at any time unless they give you the owner's...

congrats

i still recommend dropping the photo by reefcentral and maybe someone can help there.

I really wish I had more information to share, sadly I don't. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help out.

The only thing that I would even consider from the list would be the hermit crabs. The snails shouldn't munch on them enough to rip the heads off. Only other explanation would be a hitchhiker that you haven't found yet. They aren't by any chance just closed up are they? A few of them look...

sorry no scuba cert here but good luck. wish i lived farther from corn than i do now.

I would try reefcentral.com, they have some really good people that can help with identification and treatment.

Can you post a list of your inhabitants? Include everything that isn't a coral. That might help narrow it down.

My house is about 3 years old so I have all PVC plumbing, except the hot water heater. I use the Prime which removes most of the heavy metals. I have posted my water quality report for the county and have checked myself and it seems pretty decent. I have had 3 fresh water and this is my...
