Yeah, I am well aware. I have the old egg crate on there now, which I realize is not very effective, but I will build an acrylic wall this weekend. I...
+1. I just use the amount in the bags for the HOB filters. I change mine out about every three weeks. Only noticed benefits, never a downfall
While you have T5's, its still overall a weaker lighting set-up. What fixture are they on? Ballast? To put it into perspective I have 2X54W T5's and...
Those are good, but I use Selcon in place of the Zoe. Also, for xdhendrix, in the future, skip the Kent Garlic. Just get a jar of minced garlic from...

Its up to you. But coldwater tanks are VERY expensive. Your going to need a massive chiller, very thick acrylic tank, etc.
I would say skimmer first as well. I never could get my tank running quite right until I got a good skimmer. That being said, I'm almost a year into...
