    SPS Heavy 45G Cube Skimmer

    Thanks for all of your input. I ended up going with the Avast CS1 with a Sicce PSK-1000 pump. At the end of the day, overkill for my tank but it's...

    Shaking salt is a bad idea. Have you ever shaken a box of lucky charms (cereal)? Do it for a couple minutes and open it up. You will notice that...

    SPS Heavy 45G Cube Skimmer

    OK so there is now a twist - I just realized my Eshopps RS-75 sump does not have a particularly large skimmer chamber. About 10x11.5 at 8" water...

    Quietest Compact Return Pumps around 400gph?

    Eheim Compact+ 2000. I am running one in my sump and can't hear it. And it's an eheim so it will last for a long time. If that is too big, you can...

    SPS Heavy 45G Cube Skimmer

    Bad Salifert Ammonia Test Kit

    Very odd to me that a chemical company would produce a bad batch of reagent. Must employ very low quality control measures. I've owned probably 50...

    Bad Salifert Ammonia Test Kit

    By the way - in the picture the API looks lighter than it is. Matches 2PPM perfectly.

    Bad Salifert Ammonia Test Kit

    $200 Powerhead Budget for 45G SPS Cube

    Just learned about another potential option. Every now and again Tunze 6095's pop up (new) for just over $200, so I could go that route instead....

    $200 Powerhead Budget for 45G SPS Cube
