I have the bh1000 and love it. I would definitely buy one again. Very easy to setup, started pulling crud on the 3 day. You dont have to mess around...
Wow, that does look like a piece of lawn. Bumb
HOB = Hang On Back(of the tank) Versus the kind you put in your sump.
From what I got out of a google search seems most recommend Paracide-D or Paracide-X. But I couldn't find anything about it being reef safe or not,...
I have the 305 on my 55. And it actually puts out quite a bit of flow, so I would think the 405 on a 20 would be way to much flow. You can adjust the...
Switching from bio balls to LR is up to you. But which ever one you go with, you should rinse them out every now and then. Both will trap detritus...

Ya starfish are cool, and when your tank matures you should be able to keep one. They are just very sensitive to water parameters. Once you have a...
First off hope you have a saltwater tank, as skimmers don't work in freshwater. They should be making bubbles right away. Will need more info, what...
I would say to soon for a starfish. They need stable params, and 0 readings on ammonia and nitrites. You should start with a hardy fish.
