Scott,
I hear ya on the sandbed idea! It wasn't until we had our BB tanks all set up and did our first water change and bottom siphoning that we realized how much crud accumulates in just ONE WEEK  I still baste my rock in our three reefs the day before doing tank maintenance. Some tanks have more crud on the rock than others, but all tanks cloud up pretty good. Within a half hour, though, the water clears very nicely. Oh, and I make sure the glass is cleaned before basting. Otherwise, the crud sticks to the film algae on the glass and I can't see into the tank Good luck with the new tank when you get it. I want pics!!

Yeah, when I basted.. the crud stuck to the glass as well haha.
Whoo hoo, Gold's just called and said my cube is ready for pick-up. Yahoo   Time to start saving the pennies for all the little extras I'll need, but it won't be much! Time to start building a stand

That cyano sucks. I had an outbreak of it about a year ago. (tried the chemical stuff also.) Kept coming back. It was rather easy to fix for me. I didn't have a protien skimmer yet. once I got the skimmer I cleaned as much of it as I could and it didn't fight back. I see it says you have a skimmer but if anyone is reading this who has this problem and no skimmer. It helped alot to pick one up.

Thanks Gary, heh.. I think I am going to go grab it today.
In regards to cyano and skimmers. I do run an AquaC Remora. It skims very nicely and I always keep it on the wettest setting. I think I have lots of algae INSIDE the skimmer that I can't remove... and the water keeps passing through it. How would one go about fixing this? (ie: cleaning inside the skimmer, to remove all pest algae?)

thanks Bev,
unfortunately it doesn't say how to clean INSIDE the actual body of the skimmer. Oh well..
