Haha. Talking about "senseless question", I am a newby in saltwater too so nothing seems like a "senseless question" to me :P

Just throwing it out....

If I was you, I would put a chemi pure bag, a carbon bag and a handful of chaeto and put a small led clip light over it...should be an overkill filtration (according to me ofcourse)

api for nitrate should be all you really need.....in a tank that size, it's doubtful that you will have enough coral in it to deplete Ca, Mg and DKH to the point that you will need to dose between W/Cs.....if you want to test for those tho, then go with either elos or salifert, by far the best kits available to hobbyists

Thank you very much. What would be a good stock list for this tank. I was thinking just some sexy shrimp porcelain crab maybe a pompom crab and a fish.. but what Linda fiah can be happy in such a small tank.

According to a post in nano-reef, the following can be your possibility (but limited to just one I guess):

-Blue Neon Goby
-Catalina Goby [cold water]
-Clown Gobies
-Eviota Gobies
-Panda (Clown) Goby
-Redhead Goby
-Trimma Goby
-Yellow Neon Goby
-Citron Goby
-Green Banded Goby

BTW where will you be getting a pompom in Calgary? I would love to get one too
