    What is this little guy?

    my sand is turning brown need help!

    Dissolved organic compounds. Typically, many of them would be picked up by running carbon and a skimmer.

    What is this little guy?

    I would remove them, if I were you. I noticed the corals in the pics, and on that site it says "They are known to eat sponges, polychaete worms, soft...

    Film on top of water

    Skimmers pull out this stuff before it can all settle at the top (like the oil in oil and vinegar), andalgae can eat it. That's the only reason why...

    "Exotic fish at Pier go belly up after electrical problem"

    I don't think it's a matter of overstocking. When you deal with ultrasized aquariums, like the kind of "showstopper"s and cylinders described by the...

    Film on top of water

    I'm going to guess your oily residue (which is hydrophobic; it floats on water, and doesn't dissolve) isn't being picked up by your skimmer, because...

    RO/DI Q's & membranes

    I would hold off on replacing it, until the resident filtration expert shows up. He (AZDesertRat) knows more about this than anyone else on the site...

    RO/DI Q's & membranes

    If you store it, it'll likely need to be stored wet. I would wait for an opinion of someone who knows more about this *hinthint* to do anything. You...

    RO/DI Q's & membranes

    If your water pressure is below 50, a booster pump is a good idea. For a membrane, you need to buy a new membrane, along with a new flow restrictor,...

    Temp Fluctaution

    81.5 is still within a fairly normal range for a reef. I keep my tank at 80. I wouldn't go above 83, though.

    Overflow

    It uses a pump to keep air out of the top of a weir instead, which is just as likely to fail as a U tube, if not moreso.

    I'm going to take a stab, and say that the calcium has been precipitating out with the alk, since it was a bit high too IMO. ...or your test kit is...

    what do i use for filtration in a 10g tank

    I would possibly recommend a skimmer, but it may be easier to do more frequent water changes than deal with the skimmer on that sized system. I think...

    Skimmer Overflow ???

    You're never supposed to limit the input of a pump, for cooling reasons.
