Hey,
Im starting up a 25g nanocube that i bought off a local, and I have some of questions that hopefully some of you guys can help me out with. Here are some pictures( i hope they show up) of my tank that may help you out. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s267/trillee/DSC02508.jpg

I am planning for this tank have easy to medium types of SPS corals, acros, caps, procillapora, etc. My lighting is 150w MH 10k, with 36x2W actinics.
Questions...
Skimmer: What skimmer should i get, that can fit in the bottom left section of the sump(section is 9 inches wide and 10 inches long), and is efficient? I was thinking about the ASM G mini skimmer...
Return: I was thinking about getting a rio 8HF for the return pump, the return section is the upper right section( section is 4 inches wide, and 7 inches long, ya, tight fit). But i am not very clear of how much GPH the pump would do at 3ft. Any other small pump suggestions?
The return problem is that the return nozzles are on the bottom of the tank, so if the pump turns off or something, i need a backup plan, so the main display's water wont drain all into the sump. Someone told me you need a check value on the return pump? Never seen one of these, could someone direct me to some info on that?
Cal/alk dosage.
What is the easiest most efficient way to dose alk and cal?
