Your getting alot of good advice here so I'll keep my post short but do you have a LFS near you ? They usually will sell you ro/di water and salt water all ready made up . This is of course if you cant get your own ro/di . For me it made the biggest difference when I first started up a reef ...

That looks real nice !
What size pump are you planning to run with it ??
We should hook up someday seeing that were so close . :) Plus I'd like to see that baby in action.

They are right. You will have to remove it to get the pump off without getting your floor wet. I replaced my mag with an ehiem(sp) 1250 and it runs quiter, cooler and doesnt leak.

While I agree they might not need to be feed. Mine eats meaty foods if they come close enough for it. I feed it small pieces of frozen meaty foods that I feed my fish. HTH

Well mine did fine for about 8 months and then slowly withered up and then died. I keep the skeleton in the tank to remind myself about buying things that I shouldn't.
