    Setting up a 20g tank. Aqua C skimmer or ???

    I'm setting up a 20g RR Oceanic tank as a second tank - independent of my 75g. Consequently, it'll need its own skimmer. I'm planning on a sump - 10 to 15 gallon range - chambered so there will be a refugium in there as well. Now, I know skimmers - of good quality are few to choose from for...

    Zoos - what should I do..

    Thanks Finn for the link... it was the first time I read it. I do not normally cruise the Zoa forums. Just started today to get as much info as possible before deciding for sure if they should be added. I know Mucho saif FWE was optional - do you recommend using it for the 'pre-emptive' dip?

    Zoos - what should I do..

    I just joined RF after being on RC for a while. SO here is my question. Zoos have been catching my eye more with each trip to a LFS or tank photo showing them. I currently have green star polyps, anchor hammer, nice-size green favia, green striped shrooms, red shrooms, purple ribbon gorgonian...

    New tank setup question

    I would only add the following to LakeEd's comments. If you are measuring nitrites, I'd wait for the readings to start descending (so it's later in the cycle rather than earlier.)
