I have both a Remora and a Remora Pro and am happy with both. Some have had problems with poor skimming, though I do not know why. Another option for you in that price range is the Tunze Nano 9002. I have one of those on a 29g seahorse tank and it skims great as well. Some feel that it is...

Sorry, I was referring to the size of the openings on the cage--the size of the grillwork. Unless they are a fine mesh there is the risk of the nudi's getting sucked in. The size of the powerhead (flow rate) will also affect the amount of suction.

Depending upon the size of the cage they can still get sucked in. Their bodies are mostly water and are "flexible."

There are lots of different nudibranchs--some are beneficial (Berghia nudis eat aiptasia, for example) and some are are very nasty (such as the zoanthid-eating nudis). Some slugs are bad. The lettuce "nudibranchs" are harmless, somewhat beneficial, relatively hardy with proper precautions.

You need lots of herbivores--snails, & hermits. We need to figure out why they are dying. Are there predators? What color is the brittle star (the green ones have a reputation for being predatory). You say your water parameters are ok. Just to double check--what are they? Have you tested...

Cannisters are useful if you want to run carbon, but powerheads are much better for water movement. If I read your post right you still have the Eheim with Rowaphos? Then replace the broken cannister with a good powerhead.

Hammer and chisel. Most live rock is relatively soft. What I've done is chiseled off zoas from rocks (wear gloves and eye protection! I speak from experience!). Or, if the zoas have spread from one rock to the other and you just want to separate the rocks, cut the zoas with a razor blade...

They are reef safe.

Algae eaters, though they don't seem to eat large quantities (one won't clear a tank of hair algae IME). They will reproduce in your tank if happy, though I've never managed to "raise" very many at a time. For me they seem to live ~ 6 months, but I always seem to have a couple of juveniles...

How about the Aqua Medic pendants http://www.aqua-medic.com/? They have the double ended MH bulbs and either pc (aquaspacelights) or T5 bulbs (Oceanlight combos). I have the Oceanlight and am very happy with it. The one complaint I have heard about the DE bulbs is that the light spread is...

Check out the Long Island Reef Association (LIRA) at http://lireef.org/. They appear to have a meeting this Saturday.

They are an LFS for me, if you can call an hour drive local. I've only bought a few pieces of rock to fill out one tank, but will be buying more once I get the new tank set up. Very nice looking rock, as well as their livestock. I also just bought the ASM G3 skimmer. Great people and great...
