    Looking for advice on parameters

    That sounds like a very smart someone. ;) Have you tested the mag yet? Based on you noting a change in coralline growth/appearance, I would look into that. Coralline can be a big consumer of magnesium. Have you tested the new saltwater as you said? If your batch of salt is out of balance it...

    Sump vs Canister

    I've run my 55gallon softie tank with an AquaC Remora skimmer and a Fluval Canister filter for over 2 years with an average amount of not very porous rock and a 4-5" sandbed.

    Looking for advice on parameters

    I guess the worst thing that could happen is it would get tangled in the needle wheel, which it already is! ;D Seriously, it's been in place for several months now and doing fine. RC had a pretty big thread on modding Coralife Skimmers. This mod was the least destructive. Most folks like to...

    Anyone keep reptiles?

    Not anymore, but I did in the past. Many years ago, when I worked for that "infamous pet shop." ;D When I was there, they were well cared for! ;)

    Anyone feel like talking me down off this ledge?

    Get the skimmer and wait. Come and look at my 75 nano and you will feel better about the 120. Also you will see corals that took longer than 4 months to get to the size and condition they are now. Patience young Jedi! ;)
