Your biofiltration will be accomplished by the LR you use in the setup. The general rule of thumb is 1# per gallon, altho I 'scape until I'm happy...
Will this be a reef or a FO setup? Since the drain rate is controlled by the return pump rate, I'd go with a higher rated overflow...there's no...
Have you set the tank up yet? Which tank do you have? The 48" x 24" x 20" or the 72" x 18" x 19"? How many returns will you have? How many...
It will eat the Ulva. Also, if you have a friend who has a tang or rabbitfish/foxface, you can pass it on as a great food source when you prune it....
Pods bloom in relation to the available food sources as well as lack of predation. Since your tank is new, they'll bloom, and die back or be eaten...
To be honest, I can't see anything in the pix. I think your phone/camera is too close to the subject to focus on anything (closer than the camera's...
Gresham is right...it is DEFINITELY Ulva (sea lettuce). We've kept it in the past, and it will grow into very long, wide "ribbons". What can happen...
I agree with Gresham regarding the decomposition factor. Freeze dried krill and/or mysis isn't very good for your fish nutritionally speaking....
I'd go with the Apex...we weren't happy with the RKE at all. It never seemed to program correctly, and DA wasn't very helpful.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If cowries changed their shells, none of them would look like cowries...LOL Don't look at the bridges they may...
I suppose the first question I'd have before recommending a lionfish would be which other fish/inverts are currently in residence, and/or what others...
The catalina goby is a TEMPERATE water fish, and won't do well at tropical temps. This fish is best kept at 70*F max, but temps in the 60's are...
Just to get the fish eating and get some weight on it, try live blackworms. Most mandies love them, but feed them sparingly as they don't survive...
Have you put multiple holes in the cap, or are you trying to run with just one? On some of our setups, there are 3 holes... Also, what size is your...
There are THESE, but we use the cheapie green or blue valves that you can buy at pretty much any LFS or pet store that carries fish: [IMG] BTW,...
Finding a skimmer that will fit would be your best bet, but you could add a collection cup drain that will allow you to drain the skimmate from the...
