Is it possible to put these in my Canopy pictured above?
I have 6 1/4" clearance from the canopy to the top of my water. I'm going to let someone more experienced in mounting Retro kits than I am answer this one. I know halides have to have a taller canopy. Not sure about those.
Also when I buy my test kit what does it need to include (need to test)?
Ammonia, Nitrite,Nitrate,PH. Those are the standards. In your case you also want the Copper kit and later on, Calcium & Alkalinity. Depending on what problems you encounter, Perhaps Phosphates & Silicates might be needed in the future.
Can I use this pump(2300 model) for the return on my sump?
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...&N=2004+113041 You COULD! Junk IMHO. Look at a Quiet One 3000 or a Mag 7. Mag 7 being my first choice.
