I have the via aqua multiskmmer on my tank, and I just added LR to my tank. My LFS said to empty out the top cup on skimmer whenever it fills up, but as soon as I empty it, it fills right back up again. Should my skimmer be filling the cup to the top with water?

Thanks! Yeah I am thinkin about a blue background,but after I add another 50-60lbs of LR on monday you probably wont be able to see much of the back. BTW, Is there any reason why I should keep my lights on before I get fish/corals, like to promote bacteria growth or to help stuff in the live...

So me and my buddy who works at the LFS picked up my new 80gallon and equipment this morning and set everything up (well he did most of the setting up :p ) This is my first aquarium, let alone reef tank. I have been absorbing information off this site like a sponge and reading tons of books, so...

sorry, didnt know about linking to other sites, I just couldn't figure out how to post a pic here since I couldn't find a gallery.

I found a pretty nice 100 gallon setup near me that I am gonna buy next week. It has a sump, lighting, skimmer, pretty much everything. I forget the specifics but I will find out and let you guys know what the equipment is so you can tell me what you think of it. I would like to add more LR and...

Thanks for the opinions! Yeah I really love the lions, so he will probably be added last and will have to be small. According to Scott W. Michael's "Marine Fishes", "in most cases forcipiger flavissimus ignores corals..." and also gets a 4 out of 5 for hardiness (highest of the butterflies) so I...

Are you sure that the pinktail is not reef safe? I read multiple sources that say that the pinktail, niger, and bluejaw are reef safe. I kinda knew that about the tang, I may just have to buy a quarantine tank for him. I have heard that the butterfly has a select diet, but the one I selected is...

I was at first considering an agressive setup since I thought reef would be too difficult, but I have done more reading and it seems like there are some corals that won't be too hard to take care of like ssoft pollyps, mushrooms, and xenia. are these some of the easiest? also thinking of maybe...

yeah I have been doing searches and it seems like all tangs are ich magnets... Being new to SW, I'm not sure if I want to deal with that and risk infecting the rest of my tank... Tangs are so purty though

awesome! I have heard that the royal dottys were super agressive, which is why they are more attractive to me than the royal gramma :D

cool, thanks for the opinions guys! Might do without the angler then. And what about your opinon of a bellus or swallowtail angel vs. a harlequin crest for ease of care and not picking on the lion?
