Seems like a lot for that skimmer. I've paid less for used skimmers in the past. $400 and the injector isn't even a beckett. Hmm. I guess if it came with the pump, which I don't seem to see...

Yeah, that's a lot of power, Tyler. I love my Euro-Reef even more now, using only 81w of power. :D

Bryan, we have to get you an Auto Top Off system set up. I'm picturing your system running for a week with the sump shut off and the Tunzes running, as suggested. You come home, turn on the sump...

I don't see the problem using cyclop-eeze. It is mostly copepods. I drizzle it over many LPS corals and some SPS (brain, pini). The corals love it.

Turn off the pumps, and feed them at night while the fish sleep. And turn the pumps back on 15 minutes later. I have a few pictures of a hammer eating a few nights ago that I could post, probably...

Typically, when you see some moon lights over the tank, there are two or three. You must have 30 or more. It's just funny, but the price was great. I know those are usually made to be used...

Look at all those little blue lights. http://melevsreef.com/g/lol.jpg

I think the torch looks cute like that, but it would be larger with less flow hitting it.

My Euro-Reef 12-2 is a huge skimmer at 12" in diameter and 30" tall, and with the two Sedra 5000 pumps running it, it only pulls 81w per hour.

It is a good reliable skimmer and worth every...

It would very likely jump out or navigate through. My Lemon Meringue Wrasse did just that in my 29g years ago. I saw it swimming through the refugium section, and that meant it had to go through...

Typically, I would make more teeth around the base of each tower, and I'd not use the mesh bags as it is yet one more thing to clean. I don't see any LR rubble, but that isn't optional considering...

Yep, you have it planned out correctly Bryan. It can be a little less LR rubble if you like. The only drawback about the PVC is when you lift it out of your sump, the rubble falls out into the...
