I just switched to Seachem's Purigen because of all this phosphate BS and I've never looked back.

Costs more initially, but more economical in the long run.

You can always ask Mr. Tunze himself, Roger Vitko, over at RC. His replies always appear to be prompt, complete and friendly.

When it comes to pushing the envelope technology-wise for reefkeeping, the Europeans have one up on North America.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I meant was that people with LONGER tanks (which tend to be DEEPER) are more likely to use 250W MH because of the greater penetrating power over 150W. ...

The Euroreef has three lines of skimmers: RS, CS and RC (in ascending price).

To my understanding, they are all the same basic needle-wheel design of which ASM (and others) are clones of.

In regards to the Seios, they're not recommended for use on wavemakers because of their re-starting difficulties.

You could try "greenboard" that is more water resistant than standard drywall and is designed to be painted on. Greenboard will still rot if exposed to constant moisture.

Sure you can. I've got a Mag5 on mine. AquaC actually recommends the Mag3 as the upgrade for the regular Remora and the Mag5 as the upgrade for the Remora Pro.

Depends on the coral. For softies and some LPS, PCs will grow fine. But for SPS you definitely need MH or T5-HO.

There's also the CPR Bakpak and the Coralife Superskimmer.

Of course there's the king of the hill: Deltec (if you can afford +$500 for a HOB skimmer). But it's apparently worth every penny.
