For skimmer, IMO Remora is middle of the road, and I wouldn't bother with anything less. I have a Remora now, and I can say I won't ever buy one again, and they kick the Prism's butt. Remora's aren't nearly as good as the better brands out there. A Deltec MCE-300 is only a bit more money, but a much better piece of equipment. However, the Deltec's are tough to find used.

That Kijiji ad for the 500g tank wasn't a high price at all!! Did you notice it came with an AquaLight Pro? That has two MH lights in it as well as actinic and moonlights. Of course, that's a saltwater fixture. You would be able to grow pretty much any corals you would want with that fixture. Coralife is kinda chinsy crap, but it still does the job. That fixture alone is about $500 I think. Of course if you bought that, live rock, a skimmer, a sump, and a pump would run you quite a bit more. If I was in Edmonton I would scoop that tank up in a heartbeat.

I am not going to pretend I know anything about lighting but that certainly seems like a good value but I dont know if its right for what I want to do...It would be good if I was going to make that tank the SW tank but I dont need that kind of lighting for my FW...
