yah, sure it's in minnesota. c'mon, it's beautiful up here.

it's at underwater adventures at MOA. here's the job description: http://www.sharky.tv/main.aspx?id=62#aquarist

i'm kinda torn between the coralife and the AquaC. the coralife is cooler to watch water swirling up into the cup; the AquaC just cleans more effectively. either way i will be getting a skimmer in the near future. along with 20-25 lbs. of live rock, and another 20-25 lbs. of dead rock to seed...

okay, i have taken heed of advice. the emperor is going back to the store, and i now have a new problem--which skimmer to buy? currently there is the sea clone skimmer, and the red sea prizm skimmer. they're both the same price, and i can only use store credit. i know, they're not the best, but...

i will be purchasing a powerhead relatively soon. i don't plan on having corals, it seems like too many things can go wrong. okay, i won't get the yellow tang--any fish that would be an equivalent? also, i take it the Emperor can handle the bioload without live rock? based on what i've been...

i'm just starting to the marine hobby, and i have so many questions. i have a 45 gallon tank, the heater, the hood with light, and a brand new Emperor 400. do i need a powerhead? i plan on getting about 40 lbs. of LR. for fish, i plan to have these after the tank has been well-established...
