I recently got a small frag of ricordea that came on a small piece of rock. I placed it in a spot I thought would be good and left it. Well it blew off of the rock and floated around the tank. I kept trying to put it on live rock but in a few minutes the little guy would get blown off. I placed...

I am just a couple weeks out from setting up my 40 breeder with a 40 breeder sump. I am having second thoughts on the skimmer I bought. It's a reef octopus nwb 200. I know people say to get a skimmer bigger than "called for" but do you think I will have issued with such a large skimmer? Also I...
