Does anybody know the difference between regular Tropic Marine salt and the Tropic Marine "Pro Reef" salt? I accidentally bought a bucket of the regular stuff and am wondering if its worth trying to get rid of and get the Pro Reef. Im just setting up a 90 gal so not sure if I should start from...

Ive never used a timer for my lights so I have a newbie question. I have a Coralife 48" 2 x 250 watt MH w/ 2 x 96 watt PC's.

Just curious if anyone knows if SWF does any quarantining or monitoring of their new fish before they sell them? My LFS doesnt seem to care at all. Yesterday I saw a tank full of small Blue Hippo Tangs ALL with Ich. Plus I really dont have room for a QT right now so im hoping I can just get...
