    Not pictures is the scraper and scorer.

  3. I wouldn't worry about the chemistry side of it too much at the beginning. The factors that vary the most, and the ones you should focus on, are salinity and temperature. Both of which are easily controlled. Ph, Alkalinity, magnesium and the rest of the reef chemistry do stay relatively stable depending on the needs of your reef inhabitants. Most of the time frequent water changes do the job of replenishing "salt" levels in your aquarium. Exceptions are when your aquarium is stock with organisms that use high levels of these inorganics to produce their skeletons(as mentioned above). Personaly I would go with a system with a sump just because it give you options to add mechanical devices later depending on your wants.

    As every member here at ARC will tell you, research first and do second. I would buy a book on the hobby and take some time to familiarize yourself with the hobby. There's also a lot of info online here.

    (Kalkwasser means calcium/lime(like limestone) water fyi)

  4. I'm guessing the reduced metabolic rates of arthropods in lower water temps possibly makes them better suited for life in an artificial environment? I recently started an undergraduate research focused on aquatic insects and from that I know that temp. is a key piece of information used to determine life-span, growth rate, and so on of arthropods.
