    If noone buys all by Sunday then I will start parting it out. I can get rid of it in any order but will be hard to get the fish with the rock still in there.

    Tropic Marin- Sea Salt or Pro Reef?

    Suposedly it is better for reefs with more trace minerals and calc and mag. I say if you are willing to spend that much on salt, why not the few bucks more for the reef salt? JMO I will probably try it after I run out of reef crystals.

    how long does it take for a skimmer to start working?

    IME usually right away (within hours) but it takes several days to become reliable where the bubble level will remain constant. I had a seaclone 100 and it worked spuradically at best. Was never reliable and I did most of the mods you could do on it before given up and getting a different one.

    Red Slime Help Needed

    Everything here with the exception of using chemicals is the best route. What fixed mine was switching to ro/di water and increased flow. However I have been thinking of cutting back some flow because I think the main cause was my water.

    New lights too blue

    You could just change the 12k bulb to 10k and see how you like that. That should whiten/yellow it up some.
