Try taking a water sample to your Lfs,one that you trust,and have them check it. This will let you be sure your kit is good. I am also trying to dial in my supplements and not having fun doing so. Once you think you have a grasp it shows you who,s in charge. I also double test at the same time...

If your system is a fish only,live rock you can pick from any of the Pygmy angles,potters,flame,coral beautyetc.. They will swim all over and help graze the rock and will be cool with what you have now. I also like to keep pearly jaws in a group setting so the interact with each other. They will...
Did you ask Austin if your missing anything in the way of maintenance that he was doing ? Also he had his system established and stable ,your tank is not there yet. If you can do some more water changes for now it can only help but what your doing now is not bad. Have you checked the tds from...

You can custom the filter foam to fit your pump,I don't run a mag . You basically just hollow out the size of your intake pipe . It looks like you have a 90 on the intake just switch this out with a straight pipe and your good to go.
I had a similar problem and it turned out to be my new skimmer. Try running without your skimmer and se if that helps. If so a foam pad between skimmer and return should help. Now that I look at your sump I would think your getting bubbles from the drain . Try a filter sock at that point to see...
The 45 cube Mnat suggested would be a perfect setup. I have the 60 version of it,just a little taller. It comes reef ready if you decide to go that way ,highly suggested. I think me and Mnat run just about the same cubes,Eshopps sump,SWC skimmer . I run t5 &mh combo due to the depth of my cube...
You will want to run a skimmer sooner or later so include it in your plans now . You do not need LEDs unless you want them. If you do decide on LEDs get a brand name product with proven par . I think you would be just fine with t5,s. Difference will be about $200 between a t5 setup,4 bulb, and a...
