Thanks for the answers. I guess it isn't going to be pretty for awhile, but I can't stand the coarse sand that's in there now!

replacing sand

What is the best way to go about replacing the sand in my tank? Right now I've got about 1" of crushed coral type live sand and would like to replace it with aragonite sand.

I was thinking it...

It was used for 5 years by a friend before I got it. Anyway, from a reliability standpoint, I've...

Oh, I forgot to mention. The spray comes up and hits the shield, but it stays wet so you really don't get anything that blocks the light too bad. Some salt creep around the edges but that's it.

I guess it depends on what you need most, which is something only you can answer. Do you have trouble controlling alk/Ca? Get the Ca reactor. Looks like you already have a decent lighting system, I...

Cuke Shedding

Do cucumbers shed? I saw my cucumber shedding a bunch of skin and eating it. Is this normal?

I've never used the ASM G2, but everyone I've known loves them. I have seen one at a LFS and it really seems to pull out thick, dry foam. It would be an excellent choice if you can afford it.

The Urchin is a decent skimmer for smaller tanks, but it really would probably be only marginally better than the Prizm for your application. I would save up a little more and get a larger/better...

Ah, thanks Randy that's what I was looking for! 100 grams Ca ion is 250 grams calcium carbonate.

Two part additives are nice, but too time/labor intensive at this point. Also, CaCl and MgCl are...

Calcium additives and coral growth

I'm not sure I've ever seen this before, but I was wondering if there is a way to equate how much calcium you add to your tank to calcium carbonate mass growth. This is probably some relatively...
