My 55 gallon: Lighting: 2x250W 10K XM M.H., 4x54 watt Arctil Life 420 nm actinic, LED moonlights Water Flow: 2 Hydor Koralia 1050's + 1 MJ 1200...
Ya, that may be a better light for the Zoas, the reef capable doesn't seem to growing Zoas at the pace I would like. I have read that LED's aren't...
At least 4 bulb for that size tank, so a search on Google or Amazon, find one that you like that is in your price range and then research that brand...
That is not too much flow for a 90, I have 2 1050's and a mai jet 1200 not to mention 2 quiet one 3000 on my 55 gallon! Wavemakers are great and...
Leather's will "shed" their skin when growing or stressed out and will stay closed for some time while this is happening. I thought for sure I had...
Done deal, a great cause!
Great food for the snails, at night when the main lights go off, I have hundreds of them just chowing away!
Go +1 on the skimmer and run it 24/7, keeps your tank very clean!

Reefbright! They are starting to grow on me! (Like canobacteria! J/K)
I am noticing the same thing, my 55 with M.H is always using more Ca than my 29 with LED's and the corals grow much faster with the M.H's I think...
Check your test kits, I thought I was having the same issue with Ca but it was my test kit. I checked with the LFS and bought a different test kit...
Let us know what you think of the marineland, I have the reef capable on my 29 gallon right now, and things are growing, not like metal halides mind...
