I wouldn't bother with qt for turbo snails... If you're really paranoid, rinse them in new salt water. They can be sensitive to parameter changes tho.

If you're doing it right, the chaeto will...

Can you get in 100 micron mesh filter socks? Or even 150 micron? Love my 200 micron ones but a bit finer would be better.

Also, any movement on those 1.1ml/min dosing pumps?

If you're doing it right, a zero reading is good enough. Even if it's actually 0.04 (which is possible with a zero reading), that's low enough. If I knew for a fact it was 0.04, I wouldn't try to...

Depends on how I feel. Sometimes I use a turkey baster in the sump and then pump out with a maxi-jet; sometimes I just siphon out of the tank. Next one will be a sump change, getting a layer of...

Those are less than 1w LEDs, like I was saying you probably won't be happy with those if you want some acros or a clam.

I think if you add calcium you will increase precipitation at this point. Try and get your magnesium up to 1350 before adding calcium imo. If you plan on running your Alk that high long-term, I'd...

I'd just do a sediment filter and two carbon filters, should be good enough for your needs depending on source water quality. The extra sediment filters will do nothing unless you stagger micron...
