You know I totally love you Bill and think your advise is worthless.... Oh I mean INVALUABLE 
! Hope you didn't take me as condecending to your comment 
.
I am just messing with ya, I have learned a lot from you and totally agree RO is the BEST way but just so darn hard for most. I can only see me trucking around a few hundred gallons...not.....
but you did tell me I should do just that! I am suffering from all the things mentioned.. bad diatom cycles and now its all green but will hopefull all get nice and purple with good water params and plenty of good RO/DI water changes.
Also the vodka thing Bill does is worth looking into. I totally can swear his tank is on steroids! He held most all my corals while I built the 270 and the stuff hits his water and starts sprouting all new colors and growth is amazing. But he is totally on top of all his params and Keeps his Calc in very stable readings unlike me
. But the vodka thing is totally plausable from what I understand how it works. I am gonna try it as soon as I stop draining my bottle of absolute the night I get it... Hucup!! ** Hicup**

Why do you think that a skimmer Isn't necessary in the early stages of your tank? Any thing that dies off from your live-rock or by products of your cycle can be removed by your skimmer if it were running!! I would suggest that you get it running sooner rather than later, IMO it the most valuable piece of equipment there is in the hobby. May I suggest some reading on Foam Fr actioning would be a good read for you to fully understand the process.
