hello,
to answer them.
1...about every 10 days or so would be nice, since you are using a sump you cna do it in a few differnt ways, maybe do a vaccuming of the tank one week, the next clean the sump...

2.try running around 7-11 dKH

3.you need to work on getting this down that is way too high.. you want something that is clooser to 0.003 or 0.0 if that is really possible. might watn tot clean your skimmer real good and keep an eye on the food you feed and how often, sometimes just pre rinsing the food before going in to the tank will help. there are some "media " type reducers also. phosban and phosguard tahat may help you..
