I agree with Lynn 100%... those things put out a LOT of flow. That pump alone will give your tank roughly 17x turn over per hour. You'll want to make sure any "softie"(Frogspawn, torch, Hammer, Xenia etc) corals aren't being blasted by a direct flow of one of these as their flesh can tear and set up for some future issues.

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
