We will all be interested. That might be a good idea. I would siphon the dinos out when you do the WC to make the lights out more effective. Also...
It is a tough area to get right. If you do not have an understanding on all of the parameters and their interactions then you can have troubles.
Good luck
Pull the rocks out and the use superglue to seal the tube. Or just break them off with a screwdriver or hammer. It does not take a large amount of...
The issue was the intensity of light you had. If your intensity is too high and your fertilization routine is not enough, especially CO2 injection...
If the suggestion is the DT then do it. I believe I have read prazi is reef sage also.
Go with the 6700k/10000k. 10000K work fine for live plants also.
Flukes tend to be less likely to do that. I am not sure on the treatment in marine tanks. I would do an internet search to find the best treatment.
Just the affected fish.
I agree with evolved on this. The black out method worked for me with dinos. Flukes you can put the fish in a QT and treat it that way.
Sorry to hear we weren't able to get ID'd before you dried it out.
I probably spend more time on my FW than the SW. I usually spend an hour of two every other week trimming plants. My set up is a high tech setup...
I am not sure what they are but have had them in my tank with no issues.
Vermitid snails, they can irritate corals with their feeding webs.

I think you will be fine using the current set up and using poret to filter and be your biological filtration. You can always get a canister filter...
I had Amazon Swords and Rotala rotundifolia are all that I remember. If you don't want to use CO2 you can use Seachem Excel quite successfully also....
You are pretty well correct in most cases, especially with intense lighting. You can do fine with low light levels and have minimal fertilization...
The more intense your lighting is the more likely you will need pressurized CO2 to allow your plants to out compete algae for nutrients. MH lighting...
