I just saw one of the MiniQ skimmers at my LFS today - they look great!

Nice. I have that same setup but with a Ai prime 16. Skimmer works well

Good to know! How do you like the prime 16? Any SPS coral in your tank?

No sps yet. I have used the ai before several times over the years. I personally think it is the best light for the money. I love the radion, just too pricey for me

I want to try rare Montipora and some Acros. I've never tried to keep SPS before because I was terrified of keeping perfect water conditions. Do you keep SPS? If so, parameter advice?

 

[death-by-reef]

i do love me some montis tho

Haha well we should be cycling our tanks almost around the same time. What size tank will you be starting?
