As per request i will list off my setup
-55 gal disp 30 gal sump w sock, live rock, chaeto -aquac remora skimmer -1 koralia 2 and 1 koralia 1 -auto top off unit -1 4 bulb nova extreme and 1 2 bulb nova extreme both on main display the 4 bulb has 1 fiji purple, 1 ati white/blue, 2 blue still need to get better bulbs for the 2 bulb -recently added 2 phosban reactors one running rowa phos and the other carbon...too soon to see results i think its starting to make a difference but i will have to wait. I do 2 5gal water changes a week one on wed and one on sat. I also dose 10ml of alkaline everyday not sure about this i have read that alkaline and calc should be used at the same rate but the only thing i see go down is the alk and i test for everything except strontium and iron. I also use coral frenzy and have had good results using this. Thats the basics of what i have been doing let me know if you have any input/suggestions or questions. |

i prob could fit it in there but it would take some imagination at this stage as i overbuilt the stand and there is not a lot of room.
......RIP Tomini my first ich victim sigh |

Those skimmers dont have to hang on the outside of a tank.....you could hang it from a baffle inside the sump
