It seems like youre on the right track already. Nothing else really to tell you. Only thing is I would can the phosban and go with a refugium. Do you have any pictures?

should I get a PM skimmer instead? Those bullet skimmers look state of teh art. Do you think it would be worth my money to buy a wavemaker or a doser? I mean if I add teh chemocals manually does it really matter? Also is my lighting strong enough for some sps? I will be getting sa refrigium setup in my sump. Just ordered some cheato. I will keep the light cycle the opposite of my display. That usually does its justice. Also should I use fiji mud or should I use live sand for the bottom of my refrigerium?
