    over skimming?

    Don't feel that you are obligated to skim. There are many reefers that don't skim at all. It boils down to your bio load and how much you feed. If you have a light bio load with a fish or two, and you don't over feed, you don't need to skim. However, you should have a large amount(1 to two lbs...

    Temperture

Also, I like the MH pendants, but I have not figuared out a good way to provide actinic light with penants. My advice, buy it, keep the MH and...

    COTW: Galaxy Coral

    I've had one for about a year and its still alive and doing well. If it can survive in my tank it must be hardy! I would recommend placing the coral in strong current. This reduces the length and number of the stinging strands. Good, attractive coral.

    RO/DI question

    Does the output of an RO/DI increase as the filters age? My unit is about 1 year old, I have not replaced the filters yet, and it is producing water way to fast. Any ideas? Thanks - Reeflooker

    wow!!!!

    We just discovered that our devils hand leather has long hair like chains(about 18") that it uses to fish out food. This is truly amazing. Has any one else seen this? Reeflooker

    bubble coral

    Ive had a bubble for about 4 months. Its surviving but does not seem happy. Do they like high light or low light? High current or low current? What about feeding. Thanks - Reeflooker

    VHO or PC's

    Every LFS person that I've talked to says that PCs are better for corals than VHOs. I have ice cap 660 with 4 110watt VHO on a 90 gal. I thinking of adding two additional 96 watt PCs for some extra punch. Good Luck - Reeflooker

    Star Polyps

    Lighting levels determine how far they reach out and spread. I have some in low light, an they reach about 3/4 inch and spread slowly. I have some in high light and they reach about 1/8 inch and spread quickly. Reeflooker
