I use Instant Ocean's Reef Crystals
GL. By the way are you going for a full on reef or just a fish only?
I had three. Then one jumped in my overflow and was stuck in there for a week until I finally managed to get him out. Long story short I believe...
As long as they are maintained properly I see no harm the problem arises when they are left to become "nitrate factories"
I wouldn't. You may look into a DIY calcium reactor made out of it theres a how to somewhere on here Im sure I saw it

Well I think the benefit of a sump in the cabinet is that you can put your heater and skimmer in it and keep them concealed. And 10 more gallons of...
I use tubing on all of my plumbing with no problems. I would def go with the sump setup over the canister for one you increase your overall water...
