I took down that tank yesterday, it was a 230g display. My SPS, and clams are now in a 30g with MH, PCs, and moonlights. The LPS has moved to a 90g tank with MH and T12 supplimentation.

cool cool. Im also looking to possbiley upgrade my skimmer. Im thinking aqua c remora, it has to be a hang on as i dont have a sump and am inable to have one due to my stand on my 56 gallon corner bow tank. Right now im running a saline solutions counter current air driven and it pulls blacky green rank stuff. I just hate having to replace air stones. And i was wondering if youd suggest anything maybe more efficent or if i should just stick with what i have.

I recently changed my 250W Geisemann bulbs for Aquaconnect and I have to say I really really like these bulbs. I also cannot suppliment with actinics and the Aquaconnect have a nice crisp white with just a hint of blue.
FWIW the XM 20000K bulbs have a very poor rating. I have tried them and they are VERY blue which is probably an indication that you are not getting very much beneficial light penetrating for your corals.

I'm sorry I don't know much of anything about HOB skimmers. You could try posting that question in the Reef section, or you can probably take a look under product reviews to get some ideas.

The Aqua C Remora is one of the better HOB skimmers, in my opinion. You'd do well do go with it. I have a Coralife Super Skimmer and it's overflowed on me at least half a dozen times. I'm always paranoid now and dial it way back when I go to bed or work.

The Remora is a good skimmer,I have no complaints about mine.I picked up a Tunze nano skimmer last week,and have to say its impressive the crap it takes out,not really a HOB skimmer tho,it mounts intank/sump.But if the larger Tunzes skim as well as the nano,I would say maybe a Tunze 9005 or a Remora would be good for a tank that size.
