I don't have your skimmer but do have the sicce pump, see what you get when you unplug the "good one". I find that mine is not consistant in that at times it runs low then when it gets good flow of waste it flows higher. Assuming you have a valve on the skimmer try to adjust the hight of the...

No but they are a lot of fun, you get to see what comes out at night. Also for some corals they are dependent on lunar cycles, somewhat beyond me.

You won't want to put SPS in that 6inches most likely but so long as you are going to hang it you should be fine.

That pump is a great one ...low watts...is it possible you are not getting any flow through the skimmer? Assume you are geting a lot of air bubbles right? If so then really it is a mechanical(well some sort of fluid dynamics I guess) process that if you have gunk in the water you should get...

I totally believe in researching every fish. Remember you will own the fish hopefully for years. Make one mistake (bi color pseudocromis) and you will have a 6 year mistake. I research each type of fish and the individual fish. For instance I like Will at AO because he is very honest about each...

+6 or whatever on RO/DI AWI or TB aquatics you are getting a good product. Where is your tank going to be in your house? Even if you have the sump in the stand, which I do, you can put some of the equipment below/behind the tank. Things like auto top off containers, salt water mixing...

See all we needed was a lazy reefer to prove it. ;D

I assume that since most bulbs don't output exactly one band of light but are more of an average range that as they age more and more light is produced in the red spectrum. Thus the whole "graph" if you will shifts to red.

I think that it can be a piece to the puzzle. Power compacts seem to be the biggest culprits. For me MH and to a lesser degree T5 I think par decline is most important. For PC I think wavelength and algae blooms problems are most important. T5 can change wavelength also but think par decline...

I feed algae in an algae clip, but the rest of the food is set free to blow around the tank. I have a lot of LPS so feel that very little food goes to waste maybe doesn't feed fish but feeds something. Figure the ocean flows don't stop at feeding time so they can catch a dead mysis. ;D Sorta fun...

I think the 4X39 is enough but 6X39 will be great if you are looking to keep SPS lower or a clam on the bottom. Most important thing I believe is bulb choice. UVL Aquasun, ATI Blue Plus, Giesseman Pure Actinic ar all superior bulbs for par and color. I will let you know how the Ice Cap bulbs...

+1 to questioning a LFS recomending that fish. My suggestion is to study as much as possible to make the life of the fish and you as comfortable as possible.

Looks really good. Everything is super clear.

OK no fish is good ... I would try to use the bio spira as few people suggested. Also would try to cover the tank as much as possible. Dove andare? Buon Viaggio!!

That is basically a 90G my 120 is 24x24x48. I got my tank at AO, he usually has some nice sales. But at the same time a lot of folks are selling tanks so maybe you will be in luck.

I don't remember if you have a fish in there or not but if someone is feeding it for you while you are gone I got a great idea from someone here use daily pill boxes to put tiny amounts of food for each day. You don't want someone putting a ton of food in not knowing better. Don't forget you...

Looks great a very interesting idea....any critters planned to take advantage of the grass?

Hey wow lots of extra great pics. 2,4,7,9,10,15,17,21,22,23,25

I have one side open in my tank the other I can squeeze my head in(sure I look like a goof). The open side I keep clean the other like you said who cares.

I have seen a lot against the back...but if you have an open side you want room to clean around it. I put down cutting boards on my bottom glass to protect it(plastic not wood obviously). Then the rock followed by the sand.
