Okay the bad news I need to learn so much from reading on this site, i don't know where to start! I never test the water do water changes about 60-90 days 50 gallons at a time i do check salt keep at 1.025 dose 2 part calcium few time a week,but never check; please don't yell to loud! add iodine weekly 1 drop per gallon. that's what i've been doing.

I'm not sure what a refugium is but want to learn I also have bioballs in my current sump and have learned they are not good. need help with pump size plumbing, returns ect. i think i good with lighting have 3 AE novas Leds love them only run at 75% so i thing with deeper tank will have to turn up?
