Id say Mag Drive. Great pump and quiet.

Nice tank! Wish i had the room in my house.

What do you feed these zoa? Do they need to be spot feed? I have 300w MH in a 46 gallon. Oh and i sent you an email

adding chemicals to your tank is not a solution. Find out why the ph is low or high. What are your water levels?

That temp is fine as long as it doesnt go from 81-85 then back to 81 all the time. Mine runs 79-81.

Only clean about 1/4 of the bio balls. I think if you clean them all at one time youll run into problems.

PC is power compact. A combination of a daylight, usually 10,000k and an actinic light(blue). Definitely better than the stock lighting. You can find retrofit kits for under your canopy. BUt if an anemone is what you really want then you cant go wrong with a nice retrofit metal halide kit.

At least 375w total. But its also depending on how deep your tank is. You want 4-6 watts per gallon.

Definitely go with metal halide if you plan on having a reef tank.

Basically your lighting is sufficient for a FOWLR. I would upgrade to PC at least 450w. That will give you 5 watts per gallon.

Can you imagine the sound of a swarm of those things coming at you... Ive actually been chased by hornets before. Being i work outdoors i encounter alot of things. I must say it was pretty funny to get chased by a 3 inch bee.
