Bro, are those blue colored stuffs some sponge or sometimes like that??

You may wanna remove them & the bioballs... they tends to accumulate nitrate in the long run..

Just my opinion.. .. No offense pls...

With you sump design and a HNS skimmer... dun think you will have difficulty keeping most of the popular LS... as long as the parameters are optimum... you can start with some hardy fishes already

Interesting sump Guess you plan to have other equipments outside your cabinet as I see only can fit your HnS skimmer and maybe a FR where your last chamber is

Well for a start, you need to ensure the following:

1) Salinity 1.022 to 1.025

2) Ammonia = <0.25ppm (best is zero)

3) Nitrite = <0.05ppm (best is zero)

4) Nitrate = <10ppm (best is zero)

6) pH = 8.0 to 8.3

You can also check your KH (Carbonat Hardness) = 8ºkH to 10ºkH as a stable KH will ensure stable pH too.

Without a chiller, do take note of your highest temperature of the day and lower temperature of the day. The smaller the fluctuation within a day, the better. If you are just going FOWLR... 30ºC is still acceptable for most fishes although it is a little too close to the borderline.

All the best bro!!!
