Welcome from Phoenix. I spend most of my time here as well, but I do rely on RC for the local club forum. Take a look; there's a PROP auction...
Yes, they can definitely be too bright. Most people only use them as a way to view their tank after hours. You don't need to run them all night, or...

There's a certain size of tank where acrylic suddenly makes a lot more sense than glass. While what that number is isn't completely clear in my...

Did you check the airline? When's the last time you cleaned the whole skimmer, pump included?
Put it in some brackish water; I'm sure it'll be fine. :)
Mainly my eyeballs and memory, heh. There's only two fairy with that body type & fin arrangement (with a single filament on the dorsal fin);...
No controller on my tank; relying on only one piece of equipment makes me too nervous.
600-800 would buy you 1/3 to 1/2 a gem tang :)
