Wet skimming normally happens with less efficient skimmers as they pull out more water. If a skimmer is working well it will remove organics quickly so you will get dark brown skimate. Some do raise the water level in the skimmers so they can skim wet, but I doubt it really helps and maybe it gives them the feel good factor thinking that the skimmer is working better.

Get a better skimmer and improve the water quality. Cyno means you have too much nutrients in your tank..

That Mushroom is awesome. Never seen ones that orange before.

Not all fish/coral is to increase, mainly coral/fish form some countries of export. Price increase Is not going to happen overnight but will be over the next few months.

fuel cost was the answer i got. Will see what the effect is over the next few months. I quess we are lucky the USD is still good, but looks like the USD is going to fall.

Got word that corals/fish prices have increased. Some wholesalers overseas have increased prices by 100%. So all the nice hammer corals ,torch corals will be far more expensive in the future.

a alk of 3,6 is quite high and would have precipitated the calcium. as waso mentioned add kaltwasser wold make more senze as i dont thing you have a high demand for calcium with the corals you have. kaltwasser should keep up with your calcium demand and it will balance the kh and calcium. watch out for your xenia as you might find that it will crash as it wont like the sudden changes in water quality.
-
that is a good idea, as it will help to balance the water. by adding all these additives you are putting the ionic balance out.

Just leave it, if it is getting lots of current and light it will move to a spot it likes. no need to feed it yet, just needs time to settle.

Never seen another red one like it. thye might start of as a pail green as i noticed that one i had left is changing to red, will see how it goes. $400 is alot , but thats what they charge in the states, why is NZ special, Dont really want to part with it, but will at the right price.
-
Just depends what someone is willing to pay. you can get the normal ones cheap enough, just very hard to get the red ones.

for some people,, 1inch or 2 inch

for a quality reef tank system $3000-4000, cheaper if you go fish only, most people seem to want a reef tank. You could go budget but it never works as so far most people have upgraded and it would have been cheaper if they went for quality system in the first place.

Started dosing amino acids and have noticed some nice colour changes in some corals, here is a few pics.
