Small amount of bubbles... ok or no?

No worries... To tell you the truth, I actually try to promote the inclusion of micro bubbles. Not scrubbing, more like wave action.
Awesome!! Thank you

same with gorgonians and sponges, most shallow water corals tolerate bubbles extremely well, think of the surf. a lot of people consider bubbles unsightly, my wave maker when it hits maximum power sucks a small vortex down and chops some air into the water, I like it. (probably hard on my pump though)

I would be less concerned about bubbles and more concerned about that aptasia!!
I didn't know it was big deal. How do I get rid of it?

kalkwasser paste, a few small ones are no big deal but given time they easily become several hundred large ones and a thousand small ones.

I thought BIO wheels were a big NO NO for a reef??? and only suitable for freshwater tanks.
I've never seen one used on this site and it's weird to have on top of a sump. Add it to the sump then.
And those poor fish! Dude, you get ONE tang, maybe, at only 100 gallons. (1) Regal tang needs 200+ gallon tank.
Your tank has got serious stocking issues. This isn't personal opinion, it's just the way it is.

First of all I'm getting another tank probably 600+ gallons so I assume they are ok while they are small.
I got the bio wheel idea from the guy at LFS. He has 2 of them on his reef tanks and they seem to be doing really well. I don't see how additional filtration would hurt any aquarium.

bio-wheels wont hurt. it's from the "nitrate farm" fear.
it's just surface area for bacteria to grow, and the extra splashing adds oxygen. the floss/carbon insert does what floss and carbon does.
I don't personally like them because they tend to cause an incredible amount of salt creep. but over all functionality there are more efficient filters, sure if you wanna pay to run them, they can't hurt, might help.
