Wow! Using a laptop cooling pad is by far the most innovative idea I have seen for building a DIY L.E.D. system. You take the cake with this one!...
IMO liquid chemicals are much easier and less risky to work with. On such a small tank, I would just get some liquid, Seachem's Reef Complete is my...
Potter's can be tough and don't come in to the hobby very well sometimes. I would like Steve said try some garlic added to the food and also try...

I've seen both the white and clear plates, and they are identical.
My answer would have to be SWC of course. Now that my bias is out of the way I do have to say that SWC HOB skimmers are monsters. No pump in tank,...
Price the rest of the equipment that would be needed to warrant this skimmer and the price won't seem that huge. Salt alone would cost at least...
Wow! This tank has come a long way in short order. Keep up the good work Matt.
