If the micro bubbles are coming from the skimmer they will lessen as the skimmer breaks in. If the bubbles are coming from the bubble trap you could try taking out some of the rock rubble, which may allow larger bubbles to form and break on the surface before going through the system.

I have a 250w metal halide and 2x39w T5 actinics lighting mine.

I currently have a 40g breeder mixed reef with 2 Ocellaris clowns and a Purpleback Pseudochromis. I planned on eventually having a few other fish including a Sixline Wrasse. I was planning on introducing the wrasse last after a couple of other fish. However, since a very special person gave me...

There is a couple of ways to do it. My overflow has 2 drains. I have a 3/4" drain going to the refugium section and a 1" going to the skimmer section. The water then flows over the baffles and meets in the middle.

Here is the sump I made out of a 29 gallon. Right side is skimmer, left is refugium, and middle is the return.

I have two peppermint shrimp in my mixed reef. They clean up apistia well but they were rather annoying otherwise. Even though I fed them daily they still would steal food I was trying to spot feed to different corals. They found their way into my glass overflow box and that is where I left...

Like Fishhunter said, your alkalinity is too low. I had some Halimeda pop up in my 40g breeder. I let it grow because it looked good where it was. After a few months there must have been around 25 plants. It made my alkalinity drop and I could not keep my parameters where I wanted them even when...

I use a florescent curly-Q floodlight bulb in 6500k. home depot sells them.

I have a 40gal tank with a 29gal sump/refugium and I use the whole 150g jar of phosban in the reactor. This lasts me months. Every couple days I open the valve and increase flow for a second to move the phosban around, otherwise I keep the flow only strong enough to lightly move the phosban...

I made my sump/refugium out of a 29 gallon tank. It has the same footprint as the 20 long you are using. I use about 20 gallons of actual capacity and leave the rest empty in case of overflow (like when the power goes out). I attached a pic, I hope it works. The pic is from my freshwater test...
