My wife says "What do we need another one of those for...", I just quietly hush her while gently placing my finger to her lips and reply "Sometimes it's not about Need".....
 Not that I don't love the Skimz SM161, It's just that I wanted to try a BK and see if they are all they are hyped up to be, so far very simple design and extremely sturdy construction...but I may get a Bubble Blaster 5000 pump to keep on stand by just in case.... Any one know where I can get one?

Dosed the PRODIBIO and accidentally added the Reef Booster too early (supposed to wait 6 weeks) so this morning the DT was a little cloudy... What better time to add some more sand
 This afternoon I added about 50lbs of live sand and another 50lbs of live rock...All in, I've got about 150lbs of sand & 200lbs of LR in the DT and sump... The livestock planned so far is...
All of which are patiently waiting in another tank... I also have a nice Purple tang I'd like to add but don't know if I should or not, the two tangs were together in a 90gal system and never had an issue with each other but have been separated for a few months now...

Looking good Brian, have to let us know how that PRODIBIO works in the system, im considering using some of it in my system as well. As for the bubble king, you'll like it, awesome skimmers.

Thanx Bob,
The prodibio looks like it's working, It states that you can add fish right away after adding the Startup but...I've been watching my levels and over feeding the system since day one and I still haven't seen the usual spikes...I'm going to test this afternoon again and maybe add a chromis if things still look good >crossing fingers<  The only spike I have seen so far is a salinity spike which didn't make sense to me at first but then I remembered, I added a lot of rock and sand last wkend and forgot about the displacement affecting the ATO (evaporation and no new RODI), I check yesterday and the salt was at 1.029...I removed five gallons which brought it down to 1.027ish, today I'll recheck and maybe remove a little more.

Got a delivery notice from UPS today so I thought I'd skin out of work early and beat the wife home...Took the box inside and started unpacking it and in walks the wife, home early and I'm busted....Not that she really cares but it always feels more exciting when I feel like I'm doing something I'm not supposed to be doing and getting away with it...meh..
Anyway, Here's what showed up...  Ok maybe not,...but almost just as good...   Got some reading and tinkering to do tonight....and I think my wife mumbled something about going "shoe shopping"...
