Here's a nice shot of my scolymia under moon lights (No photoshop)

I see that you put Christmas tree lights up. Are you trying to light the tank at night to see or are you trying to emulate the moon cycle. If the moon cycle is what your after the lights need to be blue at 470nm. I'm not sure if the Christmas tree lights do that.

It depend on the transformer and led. I assume that in the picture you are running the lights in series.

I use three of the 100 degree triple led lights that I got from Autolumination they are $5.00 each and all you reed is a 12 volt transformer. Also they are waterproof

I would also check all your connections and hoses maybe something is kinked

you are referring to the pump itself that is in the above photo. In my sump I have my overflow drain and skimmer on one side of the sump and then my return pump is on the other side with a tank divider/screen and live rock piled up to help with biological filtration and micro bubbles

Pile live rock around it, this will also help with micro bubbles

Is your tank a all glass reef ready

I run a carbon and phosphate reactor 24/7 and still do a 10% water change every week with no problems. You should be able to do a 10% every 2 weeks with no problems.

annanymous, Did you say you are waiting to have the tank drilled. If so where are you putting it and what size hole.

nluchau, Thank you if you need any pointers let me know.
