    Refugium or Protein skimmer?

    Not a cheap hobby, is it? My only advice would be to do it right the first time. If not, it ends up costing so much more in the long run. You...

    downdraft skimmer?

    I also run a down-draft, and love it. Yes, they require a bit more electricity. But, they are not finicky, and skim like crazy.

    Kent's Reef Salt

    I am glad to hear this about the Kent salt. I just ordered three cases of it. I am done with IO. There is just too much tinkering to do to it...

    You got it. I have also been known to pick rocks up, one at a time, shake them violently in the water, and even scrub them with toothbrushes. I...

    figi leather rot?

    As some have noted, that doesn't look like a Fiji yellow. If it is, they can be seriously affected by stings (including by mushrooms). In any...

    reef cleaners CUC

    I have always found critters as CUC's to be inadequate. The best CUC is, unfortunately, ME.

    HOB filter overflow

    I hate to agree, given the lack of creativity (fun) that will result. However, "tinkering" is best done on ANYTHING except for an overflow.
