Just a few shots from my new Iphone 4s to see how good the camera on it would perform. Some pesky aiptasia have gotten into the zoas
I am trying to decide between a Reef Dynamics INS 180 or a SRO XP-2000. They both appear to have the same price, so now it is just a matter of available space, performance, and quality. I have heard that Reef Dynamics makes a great skimmer, however, something in the back of my mind keeps nagging me if it is outdated and not as great a performer as everyone says it, at least compared to newer skimmers such as the XP-2000.

My corals are not looking good... I tested the water and everything is ok except the nitrates are a little high, although I don't feel like this is the reason why. I've had them high before but it didn't affect anything. Recently I had an anenome die but I took it out right away, this was not even a week ago. I don't over feed and I just did a 20% water change.
