So .. um .. wow, that's a lot of carbon. How often do you replace it? How come so much?

I typically only run a cup if rox 8 in one reactor that I change once a month. I'm just trying out a new system where I run half that amount (1/2 cup) in each reactor and replace one every 30 days. So, reactor 1 gets swapped out on the 15th if every month while reactor 2 gets swapped out on the 30th. The goal being a better transition from spent to new carbon. Just something to do I guess

I'm loving it. So far I have not found one single thing that I would change with this skimmer. Out of all four skimmers that I have used to date this one is by far my favourite.

You can find the distribution retail prices here -> http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...7&postcount=15

Thanks for the comp! Um.. today's FTS will look exactly like my FTOTM FTS :-)

Last friday one of my favourite SPS pieces of all time arrived in the mail via Canada Post. A frag of the Superman Digi. I've been wanting this SPS since I got into SPS corals a year ago.



Big thanks to Dez for the frag

Here are a few other corals I snagged recently.

A pinkish lemonadey SPS from Red Coral.



An unknown.



A couple of deep waters.





And last but not least, an Elegance Coral.
