Currently I have a 56g reef tank with a pair of clowns and a half dozen small frags.

I had a phosphate reactor on my return to tank pressure line from my sump on my old tank. My new tank has everything hang-on-the-back and I bought a new pump-integrated phosphate reactor. Now that I have two reactors, what other media should/could I run to help my tank?

I was running a calcium reactor on my old 36bow (20sump) but I had a real hard time getting it dialed in. Is is worth it to try to run it on my new tank?

Most times my protein skimmer (http://www.instantocean.com/Products/saltwater-protein-skimmers/seaclone-marine-protein-skimmer.aspx) on my 56g produces micro bubbles and doesn't collect. I can get it dialed in but it is REALLY touchy and only works occasionally and recommendations? Do have any recommendations for a better HOB protein skimmer?
