JL Aquatics and Reef Supplies are both good and carry a lot of different products from one another. Even when our dollar was on par I still found JL to be cheaper than the US by the time shipping was factored in. They both also have good websites and carry a wide variety of items.

No SPS and a small fish load requires a smaller skimmer than a tank packed full of SPS and fish. If you're not sure, go with the larger-sized suggestions. Then you won't have to upgrade. To a point, a larger skimmer won't hurt your tank, just your wallet. |

Moved to this forum.
Besides our buy/sell, not sure how you can do better than some of our sponsors.
