    Typically corals and inverts are more sensitive than fish. Just saying ;)

    Sunscreen - bad for reefs?

    I doubt anyone really makes the connection of sunscreen = to tank problems. The shark touch tanks at the aquarium have supersized skimmers for the summer months and the products people wear on their hands.

    controller for nano (bc29): ReefKeeper Lite vs AquaController jr

    RKL Level 3: ($279) does everything you would like it to do, has a usb interface and 8 outlets. You could also go with 2x RKL level 1, but then you wouldn't have the pH monitoring, but gain a spare head unit. Add in a couple float switches for ATO as well. Though if you can get either used...

    New nano now what to do with it??

    Is the 6 fixture the tek shown in the picture? If it is it will very much meet your lighting needs. Maybe consider adding a sqwd to the closed loop to reduce the flow and change things up a little bit as well. Maybe a Fiji biotope?

    Skimmer is electrocuting the tank

    If you skimmer pump is leaking voltage and current into the tank, then replacing the pump is the better fix action. If your skimmer is new enough it may be under warrenty still. Do you know what type of pump it is? Edit: Though, yes petsmart/petco/AO normally does carry ground probes...
