Your anemone is awfully close to the wave maker. Aren't you worried?

Bro, Why don't you drill for a proper overflow?

Perform some water parameter tests. A comparison with preferred content level will give you a good idea what you can dose.

You can also turn off any non essential pumps that's contributing to heat.

Take a look at this article, but don't put fish in the tank while cycling. http://saltaquarium.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=saltaquarium&cdn=homegarden&tm=14&gps=427_473_1007_619&f=00&su=p284.12.336.ip_p504.1.336.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=0&zu=http%3A//reefsources.itgo.com/guide/biological.html

No, I don't think it'll break unless you impact it with something hard.

Firstly, I doubt you have 25g of water in there. Reason being: (1) We typically don't fill the tank to its brim. Leaving a couple inches from the brim will give you about 22.5g of water. (2) Your rocks & sand will probably displace another 1 or 2 gallons. Now, come to your question of how many fishes the amount of water can support. Below is a useful link that calculates for you. http://www.howmanyfish.com/#page=page-1

Waahhh...looks very nice bro. But I don't think you can call it a cube anymore.lol

Below is a chart of Eheim pumps. A typical sump tank to display tank height is about 1.5m. Based on the 1260 line, it'll give you about 1400L/hr at that height. That will reduce to 1200L/hr or less if you hook it up to a chiller before returing to main display. BTW, a 1200L/hr rated overflow box is really quite small. Is this for a nano setup?

item sold. thread closed. Thanks.

Can share more about the LED that you're using?

Probably 3 ft. I'd likely have to make some minor changes if the cabinet is for a 2ft cube.

Thanks Nitro. That's a great idea! I'll go for an overflow comb to restrict chaeto, but allow pods thru'.

The 3 x 5' PL lights will be included into this $350 package to sweeten the deal. You'll probably want to replace some of the tubes though.

Thanks Sunny. I would prefer most of the water to pass thru' the Biohome before reaching the refugium. There is definitely more room for improvement from current design. I'll keep working on it. Thanks again.

LOL...I agree with you. Those confine spaces in an IOS system is really a b**** to work with.

Thanks Sunny for the advice.

You mean like this?

wow...impressive

You can get a portable aquarium vacuum to remove them. I think C328 sells it. Meanwhile, feed less. Clowns typically are aggressive eaters & will pick up food on the bottom. If you just introduced them into your tank, then give them a few days to accustom to the new environment.

I think it's quite challenging due to limited space behind the RSM130. It may involve some drilling into the back of your RSM.

Went to Caltex this morning to top up my car. Don't know since when they've replaced all the lighting above the pumps with LED. Looks very bright. Wonder who's the supplier. Below is a couple of pics I snapped using my cellphone.

I checked the RSM website. Below is the chiller inlet/outlet tubes attachment. With the chiller pump located in the RSM 'pushing' water into chiller, then back into the same compartment, water level is constant. If you have the pump in the sump instead, then the outlet size needs to be bigger than the inlet to avoid flooding.
