Little update... My AC is freezing my house! :mrgreen: and can't keep the tank higher than 24c... Should I upgrade my heater or leave it at 24c? :neutral:

Boy nobody is going to have any pity on you in this case! Nice situation to be in lol. Yeah sure why not get a few heaters.

LOL :mrgreen: I guess I'm lucky.. anyways... is 24c alright? Or should I keep it at 26?

24 is probably fine, I keep mine at 26.5 though to minimize temperature swings via metal halide lighting.

Oh yeah, I like the rockwork (minimal is awesome in a large tank) and that skimmer is pro.

Thank you... I hate the typical rock wall :twised: or fruit stand :lol:

Since I got my new skimmer "SWC 160 cone" :mrgreen: Im able to keep the temperature at 26 :biggrin: and the skimmer is a beast :D I'm happy with my purchase... I'll post pictures in 5 minutes. I'm going to my LFS on tuesday so I may get a few new critters :razz:

Little update:

Aquascape

I changed my aquascape and Added about 20lbs of LR (I'm keeping the minimalist aquascape with 3 islands)

Inhabitants:

I added a black clownfish and my False perc became an aggressive female lol.
I also introduced a Yellow Tang who's really calm and is not as nuts as my first yellow tang :mrgreen: I got a Yashia Goby that has been hiding since frinday :cry: I know where he hides so I target feed him and he eats, do you guys have any idea when he may start to come out? No one picked on him.. He just went to hide :confused: I'm gonna wait 2 weeks for my tank to catch up with the new bioload and I'll add a Bangai Cardinal and a Tailspot Blenny.

Equipment:

My new skimmer is rocking and I get like a brownie mix skimmate lol
I'm running carbon and dosing vodka and Microbakter 7, I want to start with the biopellets but I'll have to get a new reactor and I'm afraid it may not work like some people said.

Plans for the future:

I hate my MH, they run to hot and it warms up my bedroom even with central AC.. So I want to change them for an ATI Sunpower with 6bulbs.
I may also get a profilux controller and dosing pumps, I'll do it in summer when I get out of classes :mrgreen: and that's all for now. Pictures tomorrow cuz I'm cleaning my tank :wink:
