peterh1975 - you can probably save yourself alot of money by taking a short 10-mile drive :D You can buy pure aragonite sand at Tropical Paradise in San Leandro. I think 40# bags go for about $20 each.

Upstairs at Nippon?

I've never owned an AquaC, so I can't comment on them. I run a Euro-Reef CS6-2 on my 100g reef and it's one great skimmer! As EmilyB mentions, if you're looking at a high bioload, you may want to step up to a CS6-4, or even up to the CS8 series...at least get one with the Sedra 5000 pump instead...

I'll 'third' that book recommendation! The only other thing I would suggest would be to NOT rush through this book. Actually, if you're anything like me, you'll never finish reading this book...I still refer to mine a couple of times every week. I'd say it's a "must have". That's my $.02

Just a new member here...wanted to say 'Hi'. I'm in the 'planning & equipment purchasing' stage of my 100g so many questions will follow
