Well they closed the other thread so I'll restart it here...
yes fiji LR is the same as LR. fiji is just where they get the rock at (I think that's right). The differences in the LR is how pourous they are, how heavy they are, things like that.
Ok as promised I did research on the protein skimmer.
After taking my water for a sample to the LFS and talking to the fish god this is what he said... A protein skimmer can only help a tank. However (for me) he said I could get one but probably would not get my 150 dollars worth. With as much filtration and water movement as well as frequent upkeep and water changes I have, he said it probably won't be worth it. Since having no film on top of the water and no nitrates, nitrites, no phosphate, etc there probably wouldn't be a need for it. However he said that that after I switch to a 125 gallon I would probably want to get one to go along with my filters since I wouldn't have as much rock.
