Can donkey dung survive under these conditions ?

[Marine_Tank]

Hi Anyone,

Have read thru all the threads here abt sea cumcumber but needs further information below.

Can advise whether donkey dung can survive in high nitrates i.e. above 50 -100 ppm tank and without chiller (i.e. abt 30 degree celsius) ?

I have a mixed DSB (top layer 0 grade coral sand and bottom layer is grade 4 or 5 sand). Can these cukes survive ? Any problem for them.

My tank does not come with a wet and dry filters. Just normal circulation flow with a pump chamber and filter chamber (coral chips). And normal lighting like x1 30W actinic blue tube + x1 30w Arcadia white light (10k kelvin).

Will this cuke cos high bioload to the tank too ?

Is there any other things I need to watch out ?

Hope to get yr reply before I get one of this sand cleaner.

Most inverts are very sensitive to nitrates. Especially echinoderms.

Thanks for all yr advice.

Guess have to try other means or other sand bed cleaners.

After reading from the many threads here, this cuke is not an easy thing to keep unless I am sure of their habitat and what I can provide for them to leave happily : )

Cheers,
