    I am looking for a good euro reef skimmer, or equivlent. I have found one on ----, but its only a RS-80. I have a 55g, with a 29g sump. Would this handle or would I need a RS-100 or higher. I currently have a Excalibur that does not perform like it should. I will be selling this one soon. Thanks.

    Quick MH question? Buzzing!

    I have two 175w Hamilton pendants over my 55gal. One of them is starting to buzz loud! Is this a ballist problem or would the bulb cause this. It is time for me to replace the bulbs, they have been in their for about a year. Any ideas?

    Any T5's for sale? Need em quick.

    I have bought two Hamilton 175w mh pendants. They are both in a custom made canopy, but there is no more room for anyother lights. I am either going to find a retro kit for these, or buy some T5's that I can squeeze in there. If anyone has a single T5 setup, or a dual T5 setup let me know.

    What is this!?

    I bought a piece of LR awhile back and this was on top of it. I don't know what it is, but anytime anything gets near is it draws all of its little hair like apendages in. Could it be some type of brain coral, or frogspawn? Should I feed it?
