    any input on a refuge

    If you keep the water high enough to support a hang-on skimmer you will overflow your sump. If the power goes out, you will still be gravity draining water down into the sump untill the water line goes below your standpipe, if the water is high in the 10gal already it will overflow. Your setting...

    curing some rock

    Sonic, you can do that. Just treat it like a regular tank, do water change etc. Hook a skimmer up and bright lights and seed it with a few good pieces of live rock. It will take a while to get consumed but its possible. If you have the time then go for it.

    Quick question, need quick answer!

    Id take out the bioballs, mine just produces a crap ton of nitrates. Put some live rock rubble in the bottom, and jimmy rig a light to shine on it. Problem solved.

    I will tell you that the seaclone is garbage. Read a bit on the board and everyone will say it is. My excalibur is only 6 months old, has a brand new rio pump, and is a HOB. It is rated for up to 100gallons, and is in excellent condition. I paid 125 for it and it was worth every penny. I can go...

    Water

    Id recommend against using sea water, it is usually contaminated with coastal pollutants from people. Unless you live in a remote location where people dont often visit and there arent any commercial or industrail areas 10 miles on either side its not too good of an idea.

    Lighting Canopy Size Q??

    Id suggest making it the same size as the top of your tank. That way you get all the light concentrated into the tank. And you can still suspend it from the ceiling if you want via some chain and chain hooks bolted into the ceiling ( a stud )

    fuzzy lion fish??

    Silversides, and frozen mysis shrimp are excellent choices. I have a volitain in my 75gallon and he took to it right away. Every once in a while ill throw a feeder fish in to let him attack, but this is not his sole diet. Mine eats well, and he will even eat some of the flake food if i throw it...

    KalkWasser and phosphates

    I want to enlighten everyone on the phosphate / calcium relationship. When you put phosphates into water that has calcium in it, the calcium will precipitate out and no longer be useful for the corals, etc. that use it. If you have water with phosphates in it, and add calcium nothing happens...
