    Best affordable reef salt?

    I think plain IO gives you the best bang for your buck. As long as you use a salt mix that doesn't contain any type of organics, i.e. Reef Crystal, Red Sea Pro, etc. you can keep it for long periods of time without any PH's/aeration. Make sure your using RO/DI water.

    Anybody have a good story about beating Cyanobacteria

    I would take a more holistic approach to dealing with this problem. There are a number of conditions that will cause this problem, individually/collectively, and although one may be the overriding factor, I’d approach each one as the primary, or contributing factor. Starting with using good...

    Vacuuming your sandbed

    I also had a DSB, and didn't touch it. I would suggest you get a better resolution test kit, i.e. Salifert, and test your nutrients before you start to do any vacuuming. Once you have the new kits, test those param's to develop a base line, and then vacuum a small section of the tank, testing...

    RO/DI Help

    Well water can have high levels of CO2, which can burn through the DI resin very quickly. If so, I would use the city water. In either case I would get a decent RO/DI unit, and a booster pump if its in the budget.

    Is my skimmer chamber large enough?

    Is this going to be in a cabinet beneath the tank? If so, you might want to make sure you have enough head room for the height of the skimmer, along with any platform you may have to place it on to meet its optimal operating depth.

    The pump was the main reason I went with the SSA instead of the BM skimmer. The SSA is a BM skimmer, but with a better Sicce pump that is more readily available if the need arises...unlike the Atman.
