Hi Bonnie
Good to see you're getting plenty of advice on here.
As for collecting your NSW, if you gonna collect it from Cable
Bay don't bother waiting for a off-shore breeze,it don't happen there
often.
You best bet is to get a high tide that falls about 10-11am so you can collect b4 the sea breeze kicks in.
Also take your time with the skimmer choice,your tank volume vs the
size of those 2 clowns you could easily get by with water changes and running carbon occasionly for a few months.
Try DB Reeftec, i believe his skimmers are the needle wheel type and
also a tad cheaper than Deltecs.
