Yes, that's the basic sump design. You'll only want one pump to go from the sump to the display, going from the display to the sump should be a...
Put a T on the input and a strainer on each side of the T, it will reduce the suction on each strainer a ton.
Revive works for flatworms too. Doesn't necessarily kill them but will shock them so you can easily blow them off the coral. I wouldn't freshwater...
On top of the fact clowns can be rough with their hosts long tentacle plate corals (heliofungia) can be difficult to keep, make sure you're familiar...
Depending on the bulbs going to 20k for more color it might be better to go 250's since the 20k's sometimes have less PAR, I believe it varies...
If that's for your 110 gallon you might find it's too small. Make sure it has the capacity to handle all of your backsiphoning when you turn your...

Time for a macro lens on the camera. :)
It's possible it's too much light, how far off the tank are your lights? 250w is actually quite a bit for a 20" tall tank depending on the reflector....
If you have enough live rock you don't need any bioballs at all. Are you not using live rock in your display tank for some reason?
If you're going to upgrade I wouldn't go with the cheaper options IMO or you might end up upgrading again in 6 months. The cheaper retros/fixtures...
You could try turning off your pumps/powerheads and setting some mysis or something on them and see if that triggers them to open up. Are your water...
If you have nitrite you're not done with the cycle, it should never show up on a test in a healthy, established tank. Luckily nitrite is not as toxic...
