Bill have you looked at the RLSS skimmers? Think that is what I will go with when I replace my aging iTech

Good to see you back. I live in Murfreesboro now so if you are ever down that way give me a shout.

Thanks Chris, They look nice but no track record and sure are pricey.

After a few hours and a bunch of Dollars later I have ordered my Lights (Maxspect Razor 160W 1600K) Led Fixture and Skimmer Reef Octopus Diablo DCS 170 variable speed DC current Pump From Reef Specialty. Only thing left is Rock and Sand and will most likely go with Marco rock as i have done in the past.
If any body has a Biopellet reactor for sale like one from Synergy LMK I need one.

What was it about these lights that made you decide on them?

First hand knowledge by someone who has one on his tank, Plus the price is very competitive compared to say Radions by 2-1 (Which i have 3 of these on Dustins tank)
The Radions have some really cool features but cool is exspensive.
How is your son doing now that some time has passed since his treatment ? Hope all is well and he is back to enjoying life.
