    Chemi-pure

    Give it a few days. Make sure you change it out every month too. Once the carbon is exhausted, it will leech the bad stuff back into the tank.

    Can I use old skimmer with new tank?

    For a 550G beast of a tank, you will be looking at dropping at a bare minimum of $1000 on a skimmer. You really don't want a system to hinge on...

    Cheato
