    I'd skip adding Purple up. In addition to suplimenting Calcium and Alk, test and dose Magnesium. Once I got its value over 1300, coraline started growing like crazy.

    Loud External Pump

    Once you get the kinks out of the plumbing, you may find that GRI pumps are just loud. I've got one and it sounds like a turbine. They are rock solid. I've been running one for about 15 years.

    protein skimmer ?

    Get a ER RS135 at that shop that has midnight madness sales. Great skimmer, I've got one on my 120. Plus, it's build tough. My kids (that won't happen) could clean it and put it back into operation. I've got a g3 mesh/gate mod on my 60 and it does a good job, but not as good as the ER. The...

    Another Question...

    Use your judgement. Fresh new live rock can be cheaper and has not been soaking up nitrates and phosphpates. Dead rock with some time to get seeded is a good way to go also. Some sellers on Ebay have new rock for $2 per pound plus shipping. There may be a local seller where you can get...

    What an amazing smell I've discovered!!!!

    If you see any creatures like sponges on the rock, scrape them off because they are going to die anyway. Wait, I know it's tough, and when everyting settles, do a massive water change. Wait some more and then add animals when the cycle is over.

    New Tank- What First?

    If you cycled with uncured live rock or with a dead table shrimp, do a 100% water change. Get your water tested. If amonia and nitrates are detectible, wait. When all is good, add a fish that you like, that is not too expensive. Take it slow and you should do fine.

    My name is John and I'm a reef a holic.

    I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. I've been keeping salt water tanks since 1987. My first attempt at reefing was a disaster. Crushed coral, lava rock... A few years later I got pretty good at keeping coral. Softies, LPS, shrooms. I still have decendants from 15 year old metalic...
