    need help with my plumbing PLEASE

    yes, also remember the rating for the overflows are for the maximum amount of flow. so I would have a return pump not too close to the rating, e.g. a 800gph overflow probably is best for ~600gph retrun.

    nitrates help!!!!

    Nitrates at high levels are not detrimental to fish. I personanly wouldnt be too hesitant to add fish with 10ppm nitrates, but if you really want to get those nitrates ~0, you could waiting it out like krish said, or you can try to implement an additional sourse of nitrate export like a refugium.

    new coral in a new nano!@#$

    success with gonioporas have been known to require some sort of feeding. Lol, funny how everyone just assumes your tank is uncycled??

    this is probably really cruel, but theres always the option of just buying a new damsel for $5 instead of trying to treat it

    Auto Top-off System

    I use the tsunami auto-top off, it uses a pressure sensor to measure the tank water level. It has worked stellar for me.

    drain and store the water in buckets/containers, transport livestocks in buckets, take down equipment, transport everything else, setup at new location, refill tank with water and livestock

    Flat worm?

    I personally would not use any flat worm treatments. Planaria are not really harmful, and getting rid of them is pretty easy. I have gotten rid of them by a combination of simply siphoning them whenever they get too 'evasive' and by keeping the detritus low.
