Happy Turkey Day! I apologize, I don't have much time to chat right now because I'm working so much over the holidays, but I'm waiting for my wife to get out of the shower before we leave. : ]
I will look at what that fixture has and see if I might need to upgrade. (Hopefully they're good for at least 6 months or so...it's a $250 light...)
Question: UV Sterilizer or Skimmer and what kind of each? I want to keep price on this one down on the lower end, but not giving up quality for the price. There IS a happy median that I've found with freshwater equipment, but I need to find that median in saltwater.
I was thinking of running a timer. There would be the Skimmer and one powerhead on 24/7, the other powerhead (both are rated at 300 gph) and the lighting during the day and the H.O.T. Magnum and the moonlight(s) on during the night. I was thinking of the filter at night because most of the "live" rock and sand will be "sleeping" (or resting, whatever you prefer) during the night so there won't be as much filtration. The timer would be a nice digital fancy one that I could program the specific hours into. I saw it somewhere, just can't remember right now...
Anyways, have a good holiday season and thanks for the help so far!
