If money is no object, I'd say get the Giesemann, they have a great reputation. As far as the ATI, I dont know about them, but if John recommends it,...
As stated by the others, if its in good-great condition and in working order, thats a freakin steal! The tank along might be worth $500-$600 alone....
Giesemann fixtures are considered excellent quality, I wouldnt know, too rich for my blood. You can get the same lighting for cheaper, if you want....

Looks like Aiptasia. Luna
Yes, if he has his Mag between 1400-1500ppm. Raising his Alk will lower his Cal levels. Great point Steve.;) Luna
Yup, just new environment, give him some time. As long as he eats, he'll be just fine. Luna
Your Cal is getting high b/c the new salt mix has a high level of Cal and your tank is not consuming it fast enough, thats all. If your keeping a...
