Fernie BC Reef Tank

Thanks for the comment. I got my protein skimmer set up last night and this weekend I want to get the ATO and RO set up. I don't think that it should be too difficult.

I noticed my nitrate spike yesterday so my tank is on its way to being cycled. Any suggestions on what should go into my tank?

What have people done to muffle or quiet their return pumps? I've heard using gel mouse pads. Does this work well? I attached my pump due to space contraints to the wall in my furnace room and it vibrates quite a bit.
