Do you have a grounding probe on your tank? It is possible there is an electrical leak somewhere in the pump. If you ground yourself and put your...
Mine is very quiet for a skimmer. Make sure the pump isn't touching anything since that can make a bunch of noise. Do you have it set up as a hong-on...
Your second link points to a thread where someone is asking for help with a pencil urchin and has nothing to do with lighting.
The reason it is so bad is it acts as a solvent weld and not just a glue. It has some filler but most of the work is done by the solvent.
They can be hard to understand on the phone if you have a problem because of their broken English. If you are patient they a fairly understanding....
It looks like some kind of acropora to me.
Here's my storage and mixing setup. The upper brute holds RO/DI. There are two valves coming out of it; one gos to a piece of 1" flex for filling...

Is it coralline or a hair algae? If it's the red/purple/green plating coralline that's a good thing. Anything else isn't mush of a surprise in a new...
What do you mean by regular algae?
Some sponges are fairly aggressive. Do the polyps around the pink patches ever open up?
I would recommend two 250 or 400W halides for your tank. It is a good idea to put a halide every 24 inches and you will need at least 250W to get...
