    RO/DI is a MUST!!! Along with a RODI I would get a wet/dry or closed loop going. Or, do what I did with part of my Christmas bonus... I spent $500-$600 on stocking up for the year to come... all my RODI filters, disposable gloves, extra pumps, bulbs, etc....

    Seems like you have good lights and a good skimmer. What brand of T5s do you have anyway? If it is an off brand or something like Odyssea, you may want to invest in a nice TEK array

    http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/Sunlight_Supply/Tek_Light_Fixtures/48_inch__4x54W_Tek_Light_T5_High-Output_Fixture_w!_Bulbs_(Black)_by_Sunlight_Supply

    If your flow isn't good enough (around 50x turnover within the DT is what I aim for) a few Koralias might make the cut. Or.....if you live in an area where heat is an issue, a small chiller.

    More LR is a possibility as well as that can be pricey.

    Spend well and have fun!!!!!!!
