    DSB and CC

    My tank has been established for over a year now. I have CC substrate, but want to move to Live Sand in order to get better filtration. Do i have to remove the CC or can I simply put the live sand on top of the CC?

    refugiem ideas? and also a humidifier question

    sump/fuge ?

    I am going to build a 10 gal sump/fuge for my 40 long. I have it all planned out except for the overflow. Do I have to have my tank drilled or can I use a pump to get the water out? Do I use the same pump to get the water out as the one in? I am thinking of using a Rio 2500.

    High Nitrates

    I use aged saltwater. I buy it from my lfs for $.99 a gallon. Lately I have been using spring water and premixing it. I have been reading up on DSB and am thinking of changing. My lfs only has uncured live rock. Is there some suggestions you could give me to find cured live rock that you trust.

    I am new to the saltwater arena. I started my tank about 10 months ago with some damsels. I have not had any problems at all untill recently when I added a Clown, Goby, Coral Beauty and Sailfin. They all got White spots except one damsel, the clown and the Goby(the only survivors). It seemed...
