Any rock left? I'm in Manhattan...and I really need about 10 lbs.

Agreed... 2 fish is the max. And, no arguments on this end. There are alot of ways to be a successful reefer.

Apparent, I did much research and reading -- in fact for MONTHS before setting up a my 12g nano. I'm speaking from my own experience (from 2 successful years running a nano) that the skimmer made a world of difference for me. The "refugium mud" leaches the trace elements back into the water...

Does anyone know the difference between these cheaper units and the much more expensive units? I have a 6 stage RO/DI unit with combo drinking and reef options. Why do other people pay $450 for this same unit? Did I get a "bad" unit?

Hmmm... Scratches - vs - Eviction... I wonder which is more important...

I have a six-stage RO/DI Reef/Drinking Water Combo with faucet, storage tank, and other stuff. I paid $75 plus shipping. Same link from ebay (listed directly above). It's the best deal in the world. Buy from Canada.

I know someone in Manhattan that maintains tanks, but I'm not sure what you're willing to pay...and I'm not sure what he charges for his company's services. Check out his site. www.cityaquarium.com

Alfredo is right. The only difference between IO and Reef Crystals is a little extra calcium and miniscule trace elements. Reef Crystals is just a marketing game. Use IO.
