This skimmer will be replacing the red sea skimmer. It's not the best skimmer, but it was our starter equipment. It developed a leak at one of the corner seams, so I'm trying to lean towards a cylindrical (sp?) skimmer like these. I don't think the HOT-1 is rated for >50 gallons, and I'm...

I'm looking at purchasing a skimmer for our 75g. Can anyone chime in with suggestions and/or personal experiences with their equipment? Is $250 an unrealistic budget for this purchase? I know it won't be top of the line, but I'm trying to stay within a set budget. TIA. EDIT: Sorry. Due to...

Now that we've upgraded, I'm beginning to have some interest in corals. What types of corals would be suitable for a beginner with the 4-65w fixture? I see terms like low or medium light, but I don't have a good handle on what is considered low or medium light. We're currently in a 75g with...

Is the lunar aqualight still availabe? Thanks.

A longshot I know, but is this still available out there?

We currently have a Coralife 130W 50/50 with compact fluorescents, which is on the fritz. Disregarding the cost, if I upgraded to the 48" Aqualight 4-65W and fan, would there be too much light? I see that the next step up in their lights has the lunar lights (LED). Would I reap any...

Congrats on the successful tank move. We just recently moved our 75g. What an ordeal! We lost our chalk basslet, but everything else has rebounded nicely.

Well, yesterday was the day that I've been dreading since my wife and I decided to move. With my parents' help, we moved the 75g. The distance wasn't that great, but man, what an undertaking. We did unfortunately, lose our chalk basslet. RIP chalky. He was a great fish. He was a little...

We've had good luck with mysis and our flame angel. He can't get enough of the stuff. HTH.
