Here are a few photos that were taken December 24. The list is by no means exhaustive but just happens to be the most photogenic corals that day. I'll be carting the camera in again tomorrow to get...

To be honest, I've seen a tank where the overflow bulkheads were absolutely glopped with silicone to take care of a trickling leak. I'd say it was 4 hours MAX before the water level increased to...

Tube worm/feather duster as you've already guessed. Without a photo it's impossible to make a positive ID.

Rattling is very likely wear and tear inside.
First, do as Beverly said. Take it apart, give it a good cleaning with a small bottle brush/pipe cleaner. Then maybe even let it soak in white vinegar...

IMO live rock in a tank plumbed into your main system is entirely optional. It might be beneficial, however, in case one of the clams decides it likes partial shade or whatnot.

The shallower the better, obviously, considered how light greedy tridacnids are. 30 isn't bad - personally I think if you went ultra shallow like a 15 gallon it would start to look goofy, so you're...

Hate to give such a stupid answer, but that's fairly common in many fish. It could be fungal in nature, or maybe simple skin/mucus sloughing. My yellow watchman goby had something similar (though not...

Typically they get enough nutrition from the water column. You could target feed with a liquid invert food but I think that would be excessive.

Has anything changed? They usually give a good...

Pack it full of filter floss and let 'er rip. As long as you replace or wash the media all the time the nitrate factory problem is essentially avoided.

I assume the tank has mature live rock or you know what you're doing in cycling it. That said, my vote goes for an A. ocellaris. They're tough, pretty, and unlikely to jump. Gobies and blennies are...
