Nitrate / Nitrite levels.

Temp has been a steady 79 since I set up the tank. AT time of death all parameters were perfect. There may have been a little NO2 / NO3. I was feeding Phyto about every other day and a reef additive everyday.

I dont think thats a yellow in his tank. Looks more like a standard pink toadstool (no offense meant).

none taken my friend, it is actually a yellow, however i think the camera shot with the actinic light makes it look pinkish, but honestly it is yellow

BurntOutReefer:

Does your SIG say "5 - 3000 gallon tanks"???? !!!!!!

I know you guys are gonna freak when I tell you this. My skimmer is a Red Sea Prizm. I used to have a 26 gal fish only so I used to have it on there.

To make a long story short I just ordered new lighting. I feel I had to switch from PC to MH. The vendor told me my new lighting will provide 3 times the light.

Anyway, the Prizm was convenient and seems to do a good job. The problem is when I filled the tank I didn't check the distance from the wall so I can't mount it on the back of the tank. I can't leave it on the side because I need to mount the lighting.

Can you guys recommend a good skimmer for my 75gal that can sit below the tank won't sting my wallet?

Thanks.
