Looks promising Jake. I like the simple HOB approach. I've got a 20H glorified QT at work with 20# LR and 130w PC and a Remora skimmer. Been running for long enough without predators that it is really crawling with pods.

Let us know how the Octopus BH-100 works for you. I've heard good things.

BTW: What is the correlation between your user name and the Coralife plugs in your signature? Confusing when your sig also states that you are part of Razer/DA. Just thinking out loud...
