Do you know what kinds of lights those are? If they fit the bill, there might not be a need to upgrade them...though I personally think Radions are fantastic.
 
They are the innovative marine lights it came with, I think they call them the skyye lights. They are doing ok right now but I don't have any corals that need strong lights yet. I'd like to put some sps in this tank eventually. Plus when I upgrade I can use these lights to grow plants in the custom vivariums for geckos that I made

Woke up and saw these all over the glass today. Copepods I'm guessing?

I want to get some new media baskets, don't like how these ones are only half the size of the chamber. I know Intank baskets are nice but a little pricey. Any cheaper suggestions? Or an easy way to make my own

Once I get my media baskets I'm thinking filter floss in the top, purigen in middle, and chemi pure blue on bottom. Does this sound about right? Any suggestions?
