Bio pellets are a form of carbon dosing, just like vinegar, vodka, and sugar. Carbon dosing isnt normally recommended for beginners as it can cause...
Seems like the more you just let your tank do its thing the better. So do you dose or use kalk since you don't really do water changes?
Ive had one for over a year now, I dont directly feed it ever so it must just snag stuff from the water column when I feed the other stuff. Looks...
My LFS has their frag tank like this, just larger. Only down fall when shopping is I have to turn off the pumps to even see what is for sale....

Salifert for sure.
Your fine, the problem is running two separate pumps to do one job. Thats probably where your seeing the rise and fall of water level in the sump....
When you get a few more corals start monitoring your calcium, alk, and mag and decide then if kalk is worth it. I use 2 part on a daily basis and...
"tropical fish" is the fish category
mp40's move 3200 gph each. Vortech are on of the few pumps that are actually underrated according to a study. I would go with two of them on that...
