10" of sump is not a problem because it's advised to run heaters with the thermostat control unit out of the water anyway, that's what I do. They eventually leak and short out. I've been doing it that way for years and haven't had a heater go out on me yet. Though I pull them from service...
Here's the inexpensive Hydor one that folks use in freshwater and like - http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2300514&highlight=inline+heater; http://www.aquariumguys.com/filter-heaters.html
Aqua Logic makes inline heaters designed for saltwater, they're very expensive.
Here's a...
It's fine to put heaters in the sump, I've been doing it forever. I'd suggest you get 2 or 3 smaller heaters instead of one larger heater. For eg, if you need 150 heater watts, use three 50 watt heaters. Since heaters are the least durable of our equipment, this creates a redudancy that...
I got a really large torch from Falconut a couple months ago and it's already got a about a dozen new heads pushing up. I had to take off a few pieces so it wouldn't sting it's neighbor.
There are three, 5 heads, 7 heads and 8 heads. They're about 6 inches long and 6+ inches wide when...
Here's a video of our bedroom tank build in progress. Just have to do the finish carpentry for the canopies, wall and molding. In the living room we just started upgrading to a larger tank. When that's done we'll move the larger fish and corals all up one tank size. And we'll add a pump in...

The mysis are pretty small and might confuse him at first. In time he'll figure that out but might miss bunch. I'd suggest getting some shrimp from the grocery store, that's what I use. There mouths are about twice as big as they look, so make chunks about that size. Throw in a 2 or 3 at...
We have a Jebao WP40 as the only water movement (aside from sump return) in our 90 gallon and it can make a storm in there at full power. There's also the WP25 with about 60% of the flow - we're using one in a 55 gallon with softies which like tons of movement and it's really handling it...
Now triggers are my area. The blue throats are generally one of the most cautious of the triggers. You may not see him/her for a few days. It's normal for them to go as long as a week or two without eating. Some don't adjust to eating prepared foods. They all eat meaty foods. I keep squid...
