    Leather Coral And Toxins

    Yup, Leathers sure do produce and release toxins. This stunt the growth of near by corals and adversely affect other more sensitive corals. Running carbon in the system will keep these relatively low.

    Help with sick fish

    I would treat using PraziPro, not copper. Pretty sure copper is an external treatment of parasites.

    Hannah checkers

    I'd just use the Hanna Low Range, and thats all. There are more than enough others out there cheaper to use. Also, once your system is up and running why test more than once a month??

    Your fine with both readings. The CAL will come down on its own, no reason to mess with it.

    Is it necessary to cure rock in a cycling tank

    Get that Phosphate test kit. I don't care if your using tap water, running carbon and GFO or Lanthamum on the system can remove the nasty crap from the water. T8 lamps makes me curious. how old is the lighting? Whats the Kelvin range on the lamps? How big is your skimmer?
