    I need some input and advice..Please

    I got to be honest I like your idea here but dont think your going to get the result you are looking for. Here are my opinions on this by wet skimming and refilling the tank via ato you will be removing some of the new water that was added. I am a fan of vodka dosing so my opinion is biased...

    Neptunes 72" Custom LED system.

    At last we meet again King. I have 2 X 48" as supplement on my 72" tank and I have to say you dont really notice the sides of the tank being darker and anything. I think it would be better than getting four 36" fixtures because thats alot of bulbs to replace when it comes time not to mention...

    My skimmer is going crazy!

    I would say untill you figure it out just leave the tube from the cup draining back into the sump. That way you wont have a mess to clean.
