Got a few questions.......

Then how about this:

Since play sand is silica based, if it gets caught in your algea scraper, it can scratch your tank. Is that true?
 
It's true of any sand. Might not happen as often, but I can honestly say that we've never scratched a glass tank with the sand. Acrylic is a different story. It scratches more easily, so care to avoid getting sand, or other hard bits, in the scraper are a must.
 
Thanks for all the replies........I'll definately get rid of the damselfish eventually, but I'll work on the live rock for now. As far as the skimmer goes.......how much should I pay for one? Seems like they have a wide price range.........

Delta, the store here in Lexington is Regency Pet Center. I'm going there tomorrow to make sure that I was seeing things right, and I might pick up a pound or two while I'm there. I'll let you know how it all works out.
 
Since you don't mention having a sump I'll give you my opinion on HOT skimmers. My rankings below are in the order of highest quality and price for you size tank.

1) Aqua C Remora
2) CPR Bak Pak
3) Red Sea Prizm

All three of these skimmers will do the job in your tank but remember that you get what you pay for. IMHO the Remora and the Bak Pak are much better skimmers than the prizm. But if you can't spend the money for the 1st 2, the prizm can handle your tank.
