    I think my skimmer is overkill

    Sorry Grim, but I need you to elaborate. Saltwater is saltwater, and the skimmer has no knowledge what size tank it's on, so I can't conceive how it...

    I think my skimmer is overkill

    I disagree with the notion that one can "over skim". The skimmer can only remove the organics that are present in the water. The worst effect you'll...

    MH equivelant to the SPS 1400k?

    Phoenix makes a 14000K MH bulb; the accuracy of the SPS bulb's color temp rating will determine whether or not they're the same.

    Which filter, canister rookie or no??

    That canister looks very similar to the Zoo Med 501. :) If you're looking to go with a HOB, my personal preference is Whisper. I've received nothing...

    Which filter, canister rookie or no??

    Yep... guess my mind is slipping on me. A ball valve on the return line would allow total control of flow.

    Which filter, canister rookie or no??

    Actually, the bio-wheel is an excellent place for the nitrifying bacteria, as it doesn't have to compete for O2 from the water column like that which...

    RO/DI units vs TAP water.

    Yep... just like when you posted on a 3-year-old thread, it got 'bumped' back up onto the "Home" and "New Posts" pages so your question could be...

    condy anenome shrivled and discolored

    Agreed. I will add, though, that you may be feeding too much and too often. Nems are mostly photosynthetic, having only a very rudimentary digestive...

    What's the most demanding maintenance of your tank

    Definitely water changes, but since I only change 10% monthly using NSW, computer maintenance is far more "demanding". ;D

    Tank Maintenance Contract?

    Yep, $1 per gallon is typical around here as well, so $100 for a 125g is actually a discount price. Never used an outside maintenance service...

    Long or Deep tank?

    Tall and wide would work best for you. Kinda wish I'd done a 40B or 29BC instead of a 29H; narrow tanks are a pain to scape unless you're going with...

    Long or Deep tank?

    Personally, I would trade height or length for more width; I would not, however, trade height for length. :D

    How to know live rocks from dead rocks when purchasing ?

    For the sake of differentiation, I prefer to call that cured base rock. One of my biggest pet peeves is to see a LFS throwing $2/lb dry rock into a...
