    On a Very Strict Budget

    Thanks for the input guys. L'Luey, thanks for the Skimmer plans, that is the most straight foward set of plans I have seen yet. I am going to give serious consideration to adding that DIY skimmer to my list of DIY components. Like I said, I have more time than money. I have also seen some great...

    Those are amazing results especially based on your minimal investment. You don't run a skimmer at all? How much initial tweaking did you have to do? What is your maintenance like? I am so new to this that I would a little apprehensive about attempting that, but at that price even if I hosed my...

    Hey I looked at the Remora HOT and it got some real good reviews however he was real down on the Rio brand pumps and suggested a maxijet upgrade. $229 isn't that out of line.

    That is a very useful option, and one that could save me a lot of money and time waiting to save up for a major LR investment. Much appreciation. Would I need to wait until I see coralline growth before I introduce fish.

    On a Very Strict Budget

    Thanks for the heads up. I originally wanted to just setup a fish only tank, and graduate up to a reef. Then it occurred to me that I should to at least try to provide a more natural habitat for them, so I thought I could buy as much LR as I could for shelter, but what you are saying that I...

    On a Very Strict Budget

    I am wanting to put together a live rock aquarium out of a 55g tank I aquired relatively cheaply from a relative. Over time I will move up to a full reef system, but I want to get started. I have budgeted enough $$ for a low end skimmer. I will not be able to afford to have very much live rock...
