We have the JBJ one on all our tanks. Easy to setup and use. If you're just pumping from the ATO reservoir into your sump pretty much any pump will do, I'm using a little maxijet for mine. If it has any head pressure, say it goes into the tank or up from the basement, a bit stronger pump is...
Wow, that's terrible. I think that you're doing the best you can for it. I would imagine that the Formalin and Malachite would be the ones that might help. Sounds like it may be bacterial or maybe even fungal. Time and good food goes a long way to clearing up a lot of things. I'm sure that it...
Now why didn't we think of that!!!! Seems like it would work out pretty well. He has valves everywhere so he could pretty much close off the sump, treat and reopen it. I guess run some carbon for a bit before reopening it. Good idea Mike! You've earned your vote!!;)

Got a replacement Wrasse. Will got me a Red Longfin Fairy Wrasse. Looks a lot like the Naoke just without the yellow stripe. Also added a few of my SPS frags which seem to be doing awesome. I also got a couple Barnacle Blennies from Will. Just way too awesome! So, a couple pics:
