Hello, and welcome to the group.

Welcome.

You mentioned a new tank with fishes. If you haven’t already cycled the tank, I would test the water for at least ammonia and nitrite to ensure that they are not too high for the fishes.

Welcome Al, 13.5 reffer here aswell. And yeah like other member mentioned, give your wife your wallet! I've changed everything on my system the first week back into the hobby. Protein skimmer, Sicca 1.0 return pump, upgraded lok line with VCA RFG nozzles, fluval Marine 3.0 lighting with twin 12-in 453nm Actinic Blue ReefBars from 21ledusa mounted under the stock hood. Intake chamber 2 basket, and just last week I grabbed a Vortech MP10 which is worth more than the tank and the lights and everything else LOL.. oh well go big or go home as I've already been bitten once again with all this new technology and probably come fall time be getting a larger tank
