what parameters didnt pick up anything. as im new I'm not sure it was a parasite.
since ive been using rodi water and sump with fuge installed i dont have much algae besides coraline. todays w/c might get tap water. like my tank is looking crisp, clean, sand is very clean. but its not the hermits im worried about its the bacteria, and pods.

By feeding your tank a couple of days a week, it will help maintain bacteria levels and the tank won't get the double ammonia whammy (from the food and the fish) when you do finally add fish

go for the pellets, they're easier. just drop a few in every 3 days or so

just curious, and not to hijack, but would reefroids or phyto serve the same purpose? or is that more coral food

they would serve the same purpose, if you have corals that eat it it would be probably be better but IMO, its more expensive to keep your tank going with those and pellets get the job done pretty handily and for cheaper. And I wouldn't use mysis because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to defrost it etc.
