    Thank you Steve. My 29 is up & running. Under 24hrs, breakdown of system, move entire system from my apt to my house & saving mostly all the water without a single spill, do a light cleaning on plumbing, tank & what not, repaired damaged socket on my T5 due to salt creep, Resetup system, add more fresh water to bring down salinity from 1.030 to 1.025, bring temp back to 78 from 68 due to NE cold weather, add & rearrange LR, add live stock, readjust protein skimmer, & take pics. Yup, I rushed! lol...

    To answer your question I have an AETECH Sea Devil Deluxe protein skimmer with a Mag 7 pump. I do have pics of my 90gal setup in it's building progress. I have the protein skimmer in one of my pics doing a test run in my custom sump/fuge.

    Don't know if anyone has even taken a pic of their refractometer's reading. It was a little tricky, but it give you an idea on how easy, fast, & acurate a refractometer really is..

    Thank you.. The light is very cheap it's a Coralife Aqualight Dual 65Watt 50/50 10000K Daylight/Actinic. I paid $65.00 about a year ago & it's served it's purpose. Bulbs are getting tired & salt creep has damage one of the sockets. I temp fixed it for now, but it's time for a new one. I'm looking at one that is 130W with cooling fans & built-in moonlights on ebay right now.

    As for coral all I have is star polyps & a Bubble-Tipped Anemone for now. I'm going to wait til my 90gal is runnign with MH before I add more.

    cool, you should look at the nova T5 fixtures, not all that expensive and will definitely keep a good variety of coral's. How long have you had the anemone?

    I'll look into it thanks. I've had it for about six months now. It finally stood in one place when I put it up high near the lighting..
