    In the wall 265 Perfecto

    My advice is to avoid the Reef Crest (10K I think) bulb if you run 5 or fewer T5s. The color that that one bulb puts out overpowers my 2 Blue+s and Actinic bulb.

    Which is the better skimmer?

    Chris, depending on the pump on the remora 54g is near the higher end of it's true usefulness iirc. Andrew, the ASMs are a fine line of skimmers.

    Brown and green hairy algae reef

    A toothbrush with a light stoke will work around the corals. As for keeping your tank in the dark you can normally go three days straight of darkness without a problem, four days will start to push it.

    Handling corals?

    Anthony, if the gloves are powder-free then they will work for your safety. Rinsing them well will work as well if they're powdered. Are the rics attached already? If not I have used a small tub of rock rubble or even a shot glass to keep them from getting blown away long enough to attach to...

    LCD TV Wall mounts?

    I can't check out the overstock link at work but I've had success with monoprice in the past. http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp I also recommend them for HDMI cables if you need more or a different length.
