Very nice power blue tank. The skimmer looks to be the right size for your tank. may be you will need two for the next tank.

Thanks!

Talk to Greg over at CoralMaster, that's where I picked up the Birdsnest

Lost my PB tang today. Not sure what happened, she was swimming fine and eating like a pig last night, she had put on a ton of weight since I got her.

I haven't changed anything in the tank lately except my P04 media.

Well that's a crappy thing.

Had a Potter's that went after 18 days in QT, eating and swimming, next time I looked dead. Always figured if the fish make it through the first week all would be okay but no.

Harsh, really sorry to hear that.... soooo many fish deaths lately... I lost a 6line Wrasse, Clown, and Anemone in 48 hours...

I think I'm going to stick with the two fish I have ( Sailfin & Clown ) and focus on corals until the big tank is running. Speaking of which if my wifes hinting means anything I should be able to order some time around X-mas.

Well looks like I'm battling Dino's now. I thought it was a diatom outbreak on steroids until I did some research. So for now I have taken my MH offline and I'm lighting my tank with a CF fixture I had sitting around for a reduced photo period. I also did a good sized waterchange, plus added all the powerheads I had to the tank. I changed out my PO4 media last week so that should be ok.
