personally- IMHO, on a tank of your size I would only run a canister filter and maintain it monthly. Perhaps a few small power heads and a wave timer...
Ya gota love clown fish- they are so great- mine are so protective of their 45 gallon reef they attack me when I have to enter their home- I enjoy...
na your other critters are fine- unless the SLF crab gets really hungry, which in a home aquarium, I doubt will ever happen.
test strips are great for quick testing but are not all that accurate all the time. many things can effect their readings- even the air quality.
might I ask how old the system is? 40 mins. is not very long, so I think we can count that out. seems the addition of the sump may have...
CPR Bak Pak Dual Pak I have one on a 45 gallon show tank- it is the dual version (twin skimmer) and it works quite well. the key to this skimmer...
red soldier fish, they have great big eyes- alien looking- I have a pair and they glow. hawk fish are a pain in the arse- they love to sit on...

why not put an over flow in the tank itself and drill it? it is the safest way, and the least expensive IMHO. reason why? less pipes, there fore less...
acrylic is typically "chemically bonded" or "welded" together. were it me and this option wasnt available- I would use aquarium silicone.
that will work just fine, just remember to size the sump in proportion to your return pump and overflow's output. personally I like the refugium...
wow if so... that is one ugly sucker.
becareful with these lil' fellows, they can sometimes attack clams- unknowingly
wow, I hope you have some massive filtration for that tank- you have two of the "dirtiest" fish there are for fresh water types. I hope you do water...
a small squirt of lemon juice- no more apstasia. vitiman c to boot. I have a pepermint shrimp- never had any problems with him tho. apstasia isnt an...
