~~~ WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT MY: Marine Aquarium?~~~?

1YR SETUP- I AM 17yrs

My display tank is 60gallons &Quarantine 55gallons
Cycled, without fish and corals, for about 4 months (70lbs of various live rocks were used)
livestock: 3INCH BLUE TANG
2INCH MAROON CLOWNFISH
2INCH BLUE DAMSEL
CHOCOLATE CHIP STAR
3INCH CLEANER SHRIMP
10 REALLY SMALL CRABS
Mushrooms, Bubble coral , 2 plot flower and Bubble Tip Anemone.
MEDIA: 2 POWERHEADS, THERMOMETER, CANISTER(diatomite), Protein Skimmer, & VHO T-5 DOUBLE.

Well, i am going to be off to college in about six months. I can’t really take a 60 gallon with me, since i will be living on campus. I just want to know (in your opinion) what to do with my tank. Within my family there is no one capable of maintaining a tank (even a freshwater aquarium). Should i give my setup to my local Fish Store??? The bottom point is that i don’t want anything bad to happen to my fish,inverts corals.
Through the hard work i’ve put to into my aquarium i have developed a passion. I i will feel guilty if my fish are given to the wrong person. I am willing to give my aquarium to someone that is responsible. We are talking about a $3000 setup-

Protein skimmer in freshwater invertebrate aquarium?

Hi,

Im keeping a 450 liter freshwater aquarium for shrimps. Shrimps do not tolerate very high levels of nitrates. I have been reading a little about protein skimmers for salt water aquariums. Supposedly these remove organic waste from the aquarium to help better control nitrate levels. However, I have also read that these are best used in salt water aquariums and not in freshwater.

So, can I use a skimmer in freshwater?

ABOUT MY RED EAR SLIDER?

i have a red ear slider hes about 4 inches and ive had him for about a year ive been feeding him omega one freshwater flakes for tropical fish that the pet store said to feed him and he loves dried shrimp but im worried about his diet he doesnt want to eat the turtle sticks or pellets he doesnt eat vegetables or fruits i tried alot of things and it seems like the pellets and sticks are the healthiest thing to give him he isnt that big is that y hes not eating alot of the foods does any one have suggestions on feeding him healthy food

also he doesnt like to eat in a separate tank so i have to clean his tank out alot and sometimes i cant do it all the time and the water gets cloudy and his shell is kinda of yellow is this because of the cloudy water

it almost looks like he cant chew the pellets he puts them in his mouth and spits the back even after i break them up
