Re: Sump
I believe powerheads are for circulation only. A more sturdy pump is needed for this application. Someone more informed will chime in soon I am sure. Rtr mentioned about something like this in a recent post, can't remember exactly what was said though.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Sump
All you need to grow macroalgae as far as I know is 24hour light.
From my understanding dead LR will have lots of black slimey looking stuff on it. Unless its been dead for a really really long time then its all white

Re: Sump
Whatever fits under your tank. Should be a minimum of 1/3 the water volume of your tank. Have you checked the site I gave you for this?
