Check out Glass-Holes.com dope aquarium stuff for internal overflows. They have a very slim design & can move a lot of water. You can buy the kit...
This is a new tank? Did it cycle or are you using the damsel to cycle the tank? How far out are you going to collect the water? I wouldn't use any...
Have heard that it causes wide pH swings.
You can do it but not all at the same time. Do about a 1/4 of the tank at a time. Removing it all at once will cause problems since you'd be removing...
The only good damsel is a dead damsel. They shouldn't even be offered for sale.
The smaller the tank - the smaller the heater. You also don't want to rely on 1 big heater. If it locks up you could fry your tank. 2 smaller heaters...
Can be done - there's a video on Youtube showing it being done. Lower the water level & you're all set. I'll post it if I can find it again....
With MH, you want to have 1 bulb for every 2 feet of tank. You are better off with 2 bulbs.
Also keep an eye of the pH - I've heard that many people experience major pH problems when using Purple Up.
Get either the AquaC Remora or Bak Pak 2.
Pine can be a problem to stain. Best bet is to first seal it with a light coat of shellac. Thin out the shellac 1 part shellac to 9 parts thinner...
Your LR should go in the tank first so it is resting on something secure. If you place it on the substrate, burrowing fish will cause it to topple....

I have the 12 gal Aquapod with the MH - great tank although it does evaporate a lot of water for a small tank. I have Remora Nano on it. Great...
The real question should be - how long will the paint hold up to constant water exposure? Most if not all consumer paint is not rated for constant...
Mooch, you just can't sit still can you?? Welcome buddy!
As long as there are the nutrients to feed the algae it will continue. The key is to have proper management of nitrates, proper skimming & proper...
Really all depends on what type of corals you plan on keeping. If softies you can get by with PC. Anything else, you're best to go with T-5 or MH.
Any time you add more LR especially uncured rock be prepared for a cycle. I hope you at least scrubbed it down in salt water before putting it in the...
I'm talking about the distance from where the pump will be placed to the top edge of where the water has to go (No doubt the top of the tank). You'll...
