    Which Protein Skimmer to buy

    Thanks. Looks like Remora for me. So is it easy as they say. Takes 1 minute to setup? I've never had a skimmer before. The only thing is looks like no one is selling it for a discount. Everyone online is within a few dollars of each other.

    Ballasts Question

    I had a quesiton about ballasts. I was looking at the Ice Cap Ballasts and they are expensive. Wondering if the ballasts at HD will work as a replacement, like a 55-75 watt ballast. I think it was around $25. Will this work. Any more ideas on making a DIY lighting system cheaply?

    What to feed?

    I have one false perc, one small yellow tang, and one flame angel. I've been feeding them formula one frozen food. Should I vary their diet, and if so, what else should I feed them?
