With all the new innovative lighting and skimmer designs this year I cant wait to get my hands on some new equipment.  Its been years since I set up my 46gallon bow-front and my lighting needs to be replaced and Ive been very unhappy with my current skimmer. 

       I am currently using an Aqua C Remora Pro as my skimmer and when I fist set up my aquarium it did a decent job, however I was always envious of what other reefkeepers where pulling out of their skimmers.  This year Bermuda aquatics really have my eye, not because my Lfs, Something Fishy (also a huge online saltwater fish and reef supplier)uses them exclusively but because I haven’t heard one bad thing about them yet.  Keep in mind they are just breaking out into the marine reef aquarium world, but there products, are more then promising. 

        My lighting is horrible for what I keep under it, believe it or not I am keeping soft leathers, a carpet anemone and some LPS under 192watts of pc lighting.  I haven’t changed the bulbs in two years, mainly because each bulb costs nearly $40 and i just cant seem to justify spending that for one bulb every six months.  So this year I made a vow to myself to get a nice T5 setup and luckily for me and hundreds of other reefers, Current released there new model the Extreme Pro.  The Extreme Pro Uses a six bulb set up instead of the usual four bulbs that older models had. Each of the six bulbs has an individual reflector and replacement bulbs go for nearly half of what pc bulbs go for and T5 bulbs don’t need to be changed nearly as much. Its like a dream all those concentrated watts without the heat of metal halides. This is going to be a good year for reef tanks.
