They will get more than 16" for sure. If you keep the glass clean, it shouldn't really block the light that much.

If you have a big enough pump to turn your water over 5 to 10 times per hour, you don't need the powerheads. You pump should be anywhere from 750 to 1500 gph.

I have had good luck with their fish. They usually have a great selection and the fish always look good. I do think they are a little expensive though.

Trying to catch a wrasse!

I have a large saddle wrasse. It is very aggressive, very fast, and very smart. I want to get rid of it, but I'm having a hard time catching it. Any suggestions on how to trap it or catch it?

The higher temps tend to decrease oxygen, and I thought with the higher salinty levels your fish are more prone to diseases. I believe in reef tanks you want higher salinity, no?

Around 75 or so. I believe it's better to stay a little lower on the salinity for FO. I keep mine at @1.018 - 1.020.

I think its about 5' long. But as you see the length will help to dissapate any bubbles by the time it gets to the pump, but with the pipes going into the bags, there are almost NO bubbles. In the...

That should work, but you have to drill a small hole near the top for air or it won't drain.

I don't believe that you will any problems with that set up. The most imortant thing is the flow. You might want a skimmer if you don't already have one.

I put a micron bag in the sump. So the pipe that comes into the sump goes into the micron bag. It filters and contains the bubbles.

I am confused as to why you would have bubbles. My pump puts out 5000 gph. and I never see any bubbles. As long as the level in your sump is high enough, you shouldn't get any bubbles.
