So what is your return pump rated at? And how high above the water line are those lights? This thing is looking good...you have a lot of patience to leave it empty for so long. I can't wait to see this in action.

For a fuge, you just need some live rock (some people use rubble) and some macroalgae (chaeto is the best kind to keep in there). Some people also add a deep sand bed (6 inches or more). You can seed the fuge with a bottle of pods, but given enough time, the pods will colonize it on their own. You don't need to do anything to feed the pods if the fuge is hooked up to your tank -- it will get nutrients the same way the other inhabitants do.

I wanted to raise my ph so I bought Kent superbuffer -dkh says it stabilizes and raises ph. in the back it says ph an alkalinity and dkh I'm confused. if I add this product to get my ph to 8.3 will my alkalinity go way high? or does ph an alkalinity work together a good ph equals a good alkalinity? I'm confused

What is your ph at now? It doesn't need to be at 8.3. High 7's is fine.
If you want to raise your alk while keeping ph up, you can use soda ash from Bulk Reef Supply. Use the sodium bicarbonate if you want to keep alk up but ph down. But you shouldn't need to worry about alk until you get your corals going.

Grape Caulpera... I have some in my fuge... it outgrows the chaeto pretty quickly.

Yeah, Caulpera is really awesome in my book. I used to grow it in my fuge to feed to my foxface.

Just dont put it in your DT lol i made that mistake...well not much choice in my mantis tank but still...it attaches to LR and is really hard to get rid of. In a fuge, AWSOME.
