I need a few pointers............

For the six line, what should I use as a lid, because as of right now, it is going to be an open top tank.

Any one have an answer to my previous question?

First I would like an answer to my first question of how often I need to clean my Fuval and all that kinda stuff. And I have one other. I really wanted my 50g to be SPS dominated with NO softies at all, but a few shrooms. But when I put a piece of LR in my tank while setting it up I noticed a couple branches of Anthelia. Right now they are under a T12 FW light and are growing. First I would like to know if there is any hope in getting it completely off the rock or should I just go and buy a new piece of rock? And my powerhead is really moving them around. There is a lot of flow in there it looks like. I will have a Mag 7 running for return and a MJ1200 in the show tank. Is that enough flow? Tank is the 36" 50g version. But the flow really blows the anthelia around. Suggestions?

My tank has been running for seven months now--last month I decided to move the sump to the basement underneath the main tank room. I use a mag3600 pump that is clearing the tank about 20 times an hour. I also added a refugium at that time.
I have not gotten into sps yet but will soon--the halides will have to replaced at 10-12 months so by then the tank conditions should be 100 per cent stable.
