I will admit to buying a couple things from there......I have picked up a couple little nano type gobies from the frag tank in the hall and now this urchin.....they actually had a very nice, healthy looking red golden dwarf angel that had me tempted.....

might be sooner rather than later.....Ive been digging around a little because the reef safe with caution thing was bugging me...I must say there is surprisingly little about them on the net in relation to the aquarium..I found a thread on another forum where a guy said one of these urchins ate his blue linkia seastar......of course this is just on a forum and not anything solid but this may be the with caution part of the equation.... Ill keep digging....in the meantime Im nervous because I have a blue linkia in the tank

so I finally made up my mind about skimming on the big tank......my original thought was to keep my BK mini 180 and get another skimmer rated for 200-300g...I was gonna do a vertex alpha cone 180......but after doing some reading, the general consensus is that one big skimmer, rated for your tank size is better than two small skimmers adding up to the size of the tank.....still not exactly sure why, but anyway, thats what the masses say, so it must be true right?.....Ive decided on and ordered a vertex alpha cone 300, rated for 600g http://www.vertexaquaristik.com/Prod.../Alpha300.aspx .....that ought to be enough of a beast for my needs.....I should get it at the end of this month

I had a conversation with a fellow last year that has some connections with some of the big name skimmer manufactures and long story short he told me that having a skimmer rated for double you water volume is needed.


What's your thoughts Dougster?

Oh ya...........that's one kick arse skimmer beast.

now see!!!.....I had a convo with a guy that distributes some of the higher end skimmers a couple years back and he said not to over rate the higher end skimmers.......dont you just loooove all the contradictory little tidbits in this hobby......the system will likely be around 400g if I do a small satellite tank like in V2......and I tend to stock my tanks a touch on the heavy side so.......

Skimmers are one of those things I just really don't understand because of all the contradictions.
