    750 watt Xenon?

    Kill it or add it live? (Update ? 3/10/13)

    New fish never seem to eat for me

    Yeah, those are more sensitive species, and wild-caught specimens usually have a fairly high mortality rate due to all the stress. They tend to adapt...

    debris or detritus?

    Kill it or add it live? (Update ? 3/10/13)

    First, boiling live rock is a very bad idea. You might get away with it and you might not, all depending on exactly what is in/on it. A lot of...

    New fish never seem to eat for me

    Your water looks almost perfect except for the phosphate. It won't affect the fish, but you might start having algae problems if it's not addressed...

    Overkill?

    Another problem is your flow- it's way too high. Reactors typically run at 80 - 100gph for better contact time, allowing the media to absorb organics...

    Pond pumps for mixing water?

    Can you post a link to the one's you're considering? Typically, most things designed for SW are not cheap, although they might be fine short-term.
