Since the H&S A110 is too small for a heavy bioload 90g, the next size up by default is the H&S A150. Yes, I do think it is overkill, but it's the best fit in the H&S skimmer line. I have my H&S...

You can easily keep rics, zoos, lps and some sps under 4x54w T5HO Teklights. They have the individual reflectors. Need to keep the rics partially shadowed and SPS near the top.

I would say that the skimmer's input is coming directly from the Megaflow drain at the bottom of the tank. :D

I can comment on the skimmer easily, one of the best skimmers that you can ever invest in is the H&S. If you bioload is normal, the A200-1260 is a great fit. If your bioload is extra heavy, then...

Hey Cruzin, I know I've mentioned this before, you really don't need active cooling fans for your setup, so bite the bullet and get a Teklight fixture. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and glad...

Agree. This will resolve your problem depending on where's the source of the leak, just the collection cup or between the gap between the neck and insert.

Excellent skimmer. I've seen most BM200 owners do better with a air valve installed. The other BM models don't need it, but the BM200 gives user more control and better foaming with the air valve.

Passive or Active cooling depends on what you're keeping. Unless one is keeping a heavy SPS dominated tank, I like the slim design of the Teklights better.
