    Help With Canopy

    It does block a little, but melting I believe could be a bigger problem.

    Help With Canopy

    Another option may be adding black egg crate to the top of your tank.

    Restarting... 18g

    Picked up a skimmer and a soap dish for the tank, but I came home today to find that I no longer rock the Domino Damsel. :'(

    Water Changes

    10-20% weekly is a good rule of thumb. This can vary of course based on bioload.

    Nano Skimming

    Yes you can overskim, but that octopus wouldn't on a 16 imo. Something to be prepared for is it's length. The model you're looking at is not small at 13". Here is a picture of the bh100f next to a remora... Edit: and like JRWOHLER said... you don't need to run a skimmer. I only recently picked...

    Which ones have you used?

    Lighting Suggestions

    If you are able, a DIY led setup would be an excellent option. A 70W MH or a 24" T5HO setup would be 2a and 2b. Now that I have gotten ahead of myself. :) What are you planning on keeping?

    Coralline Algae

    Time and patience, but if you have an itch for more, then scratch the spots of coralline you have in your tank already. It'll send spores throughout to populate quicker.

    TEST KITS

    Red sea is considered inaccurate. API is cheap and effective. Salifert, Lamotte and Elos are all quality kits. For purposes I use API for all of the basics Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH. Hagen for Alk and Ca with Salifert for Mg.

    overlighting disaster?

    The only way I could see the MH causing this is if the UV shield was broken or not providing adequate coverage. Oh and heat, but on a 180... I'm leaning towards the sea hare as well.

    Dosing two parts

    I take the difference from weekly testings and divide by 7.

    I have more than enough Kenya Tree already. (It looked small and harmless attached to the frogspawn at the time) lol Edit: This thread just scared me about drilling... I don't know if the back of the tank is tempered or not. It has a tempered glass sticker on the bottom of the tank. Thoughts? ? ?

    It's funny that you keep posting what I'm thinking. :P For flow I am leaning towards the 700 overflow with a Quiet One 4400 pump for the return. I also am thinking about having the return split to each corner with locline. Additional flow would come from a pair of Koralia 2/3/4s.

    Zoo Care Question

    Would it be possible to get a picture? Have you tried a freshwater or iodine dip? Sometimes it'll take a week or two for them to adjust to the new system.

    Help wit RO/D Unit

    iirc the mag pumps won't really pressurize an RO line. The thing that you will notice with a low PSI is that your water output will drop, but will otherwise be good-to-go. If it is a concern for you you could look into a booster pump like...

    Moving on up...

    It's a four bulb current nova fixture. It's major detractor is that it has a parabolic reflector instead of individual ones. >.< I have four extra bulbs too so I could do a staggered 8 bulb retrofit (and build a canopy to fit it in) down the road.

    Protein Skimmer Question

    There is a pet store on 630 and 541 that runs an octopus skimmer iirc.
